My Last Tango - Nerina Pallot

Thousands, no millions of hours

We’ve been skirting around this whole subject

Like children stuck in a museum

And I’m dry now

My mouth will not speak, I’m weary and weak

And I only wanted to see you again

If that’s unfair, just let me know

Just write it down, and then I’ll go

But you skate around my human skin

An apple where your throat begins

Just say…

Just tell the stars to give a sign

Put it in a bottle…

Say you’re mine

And it’s better, better than music

Better than words to be with you

But better that we’re apart

Can’t you feel it?

It’s taken me over, left me for dead like Ophelia

Who knew a prince and survived?

And so I ask in every line

That I might learn of your design

Because you skate around my human skin

Your name is where my heart begins

Just say…

Just tell the stars to give a sign

Put it in a bottle…

Say you’re mine

Because you skate around my human skin

Your name is where my heart begins

Just say…

Just tell the stars to give a sign

Put it in a bottle…

Say you’re mine
