In just about the time it takes to kill an hour or two
When clocks fall silent and night throws its clock
On the bedroom around you, you think about the breaking point, the needle and the skin
The sweet torture of a very first lie, when your love is wearing thin
Say a prayer, or sing, or don't say a word
It hardly matters now, a new day's about o begin

When the one you love is the one you don't
And the one you don't is the one you will for evermore
When the one you've lost was the one worth more than losing
When this one has gone

The evening cup has burnt your lips and sleep is late again
A sigh escapes as your fingertips reach the promise of a man
It's early still, a shade of grey, a shout across the tracks
A woman's footsteps and words you can't hear,
in the stairs of another flat
Say a prayer, or sing, or don't say a word
It hardly matters now, a new day's about to begin
When the one you love ... (he will come back, he will come back) (less info)
