I waited by your bedside
And didn`t close my eyes all night
I named you like a prayer

It`s anybody`s guess how
The angel of doubt came down
And crept into your bed

But after we danced to the shipping forecast
The words escaped your mouth
"I know it`s gotta stop love, but I don`t know how"

Now the stairs forget your shoes
And the gate don`t creak for want of you
But the jury`s out on me

We`re wise beyond our years
But we`re good at bad ideas, my love
Or so it seems to be

Shine a little light
Don`t wrestle with the night
Don`t think about the future now
I know it`s gotta stop love but I don`t know how

My little one
My kettle drum
I know I had a message at the start

My babel tongue
My come-undone
I know I had a message at the start

My prison kiss
My dying wish
I know I had a message at the start?
But it up and abandoned us, when we were sleeping in our beds

It`s anybody`s guess how the angel of doubt laid down
Sand beneath our house
I know it`s gotta stop love, but I don`t know how
