Invisible Lady
From ElvisCostello

LyricsNails tap the counter Steps echo and fade Is that a face in the window? With no shadow or shade
The naked flame flickered Clothes lie where they’re thrown It’s one hell of a big torch To carry alone
She might brush your face with the hem of her gown But it’s hard to wake up with your silly cracked crown
An empty of shot glass A shocking blue pane The chamber rolled vacant And loaded again and again and again
Return to me Invisible lady Where are the rewards for all the promises I made? Oh where have you gone? And who on earth do I have to thank? The sheet below is blank
I fell for the Invisible lady I still sing the words of all of the songs that she gave me The ribbon’s stretched tight But every time that I start to type The key won’t seem to strike
The ages that I’d waste staring at that hourglass The minutes I spend for seconds to pass Through a curtain of jet hung on her shoulder
Through a curtain of jet hung on her shoulder
Return to me Invisible lady Where are the rewards for all the promises I made? Oh where have you gone? And who on earth do I have to thank? The sheet below is blank
Pools of shallow and Pools of deep Sometimes they narrow Their secrets to keep Lashes invite you where others dove in Others dove in and were not seen again
His body bobbled blue in the cold morning lake Admitting that he knew you was his first mistake His chilly fixed eyes Indicated no blame Despite what they say, no reflection remained
It’s an empty of shot glass A shocking blue pane The chamber rolled vacant And loaded again and again and again and again and again and again
