lyrics

i was going to turn the light on
but more than the globe has blown
i can hear you breathing in the darkness & the rain
& both of us are lying here alone
you threw away your old love letters
i wonder if you read them through
three years of his memory hit the dustbin
& the ink is turning the potato peelings blue

one day you'll awaken
the corridors are full of broken stars
trying to find a dream
but they'll settle for a reason
not to blow the candle out right now

i was going to cross the border
just to say i'd seen the sights
but jupiter's casino looks like tutankhamen's tomb
tethered to the ground by christmas lights
i didn't see your face for ages
when we pulled out of the dolphin prison park
& you wrote our initials in the window in the steam
they melted down together in the dark

one day you'll awaken
the corridors are full of broken stars
trying to find a dream
but they'll settle for a reason
not to blow the candle out right now

i've still got my faith
it's tattered & it's torn
i'm a little optimistic
you're a little bit careworn
she's got him in a bottle
she's got him in a dream
jesus had the devil
blondes have morphine
