lyrics

I am trying not to laugh
at your indignant mouth
when you know you’ve been caught

But I can’t hide a thing
from you, or anyone
I don’t have a liar’s constitution -

My love gives me away
My love gives me away, away
My love gives me away

Turn your particular curls
to satin in a nest
to bird down on my chest

You take a token from her grave
she doesn’t mind,
so why should I?

I am trying not to cry
for you or anyone
there’s really nothing wrong

We head back smiling down the path
beneath the ancient tree
hail the angels,
take your car back to the city

My love gives me away
My love gives me away, away
My love gives me away

Downmouth the early days of spring
when we’ve run through our store
of poetry and photographs and oranges

Too tired to draw straws
we’ll say we can’t go on -
but we’ll go on

I am trying not to dream
in your enormous shirt
I’d hate to leave a bad one in the stitches

But if your Singer’s in the mail,
can I bring you songs to mend,
just some little drafts
that you could pass the time with -

My love gives me away
My love gives me away, away
My love gives me away
