(DiffordTilbrook)



She plaits her hair, I bite my nails

We balance love on the scales

I wind the clock and go to bed

Our love is hanging on a thread

She gets undressed, I undress too

The draft is cold in my bedroom

We cuddle up and say goodnight

It's all the love there is tonight.

I can't be brave enough

She cannot say what we're feeling

Day after day

We're going through the motions

We find it hard to let each other go



She boils the eggs, I make the tea

Outside the sun shines on the street

We're at that point here love has gone

The fuse is lit, it won't be long

I take a walk, she cleans the house

This is the end, I'm in no doubt

But neither one of us can show

The slightest sign of letting go
