In This Twilight (long) Songtext

von Stephen Duffy

Piano plays into the night
The sun's gone down now, dark enclosing hood
It's goodbye friend, yes, I know
You would have loved me if only you could

I've so much time now, I walk alone
I visit streets I once called home
And since I left, I won't go back
To exchange broken hearted feelings
For all the love I lack

In this twilight no one cares
The sun's gone down on sad affairs
In this twilight no one cares
In this twilight no one cares
The sun's gone down on sad affairs
In this twilight no one cares
She'll write again soon, she swears

So alone and so it goes
A woe-bound express, nothing really shows
Piano plays but if I could choose
To keep apart a heart unbroken even if I lose

I'd hit the sack but the sack hits back
I bite the hand but the hand will slap
I'll write you a letter, the phone won't do
I never seem to come across
How I've wanted to

A little more time is all that's needed
To stop us falling down, advice unheeded
Nursery, basements, big town houses
I'll buy you a coat, myself some trousers
And if you say, "Stephen, when shall we marry?"
On Valentine's Day in the back of a lorry

On Valentine's Day in the back of a lorry
On Valentine's Day, if I get my way
More than an honest day's pay
On Valentine's Day, if I get my way
