Another Day - This Mortal Coil

The kettle’s on, the sun has gone, another day

She offers me Tibetan tea on a flower tray

She’s at the door, she wants to score

She dearly needs to say

I loved you a long time ago, you know

Where the wind’s own Forget-me-nots blow

But I just couldn’t let myself go

Not knowing what on earth there was to know

But I wish that I had 'cause I’m feeling so sad

That I never had one of your children

Then across the room, inside a tomb

A chance is waxed and wanes

The night is young

Why are we so hung up in each other’s chains?

I must take her and I must make her while the dove domains

And feel the juice run as she flies

Run my wings under her sighs as the flames of eternity rise

To lick us with the first born lash of dawn

Oh, really, my dear, I can’t see what we fear

Sat here with ourselves in between us

And at the door, we can’t say more than just another day

And without a sound I turn around and I walk away
