lyrics

I saw the way you looked at me
And I knew
How it would all end
In a messy bed with wrung hands

And as I felt
The flicker in your eye
Like a wing on my bare arm
Such a poorly disguised butterfly

Then I knew
It wouldn’t be long
I knew it was wrong
But what could I do -
The night smiled at you

And as I felt
The touch of your hand
Like a dagger to my bare heart
I was a tightly pinned butterfly

And I knew
It wouldn’t be long
I knew it was wrong
But what could I do -
The night smiled at you

You see, the way you looked at me
Wasn’t all
That I had hoped for
From the mossy trail and its green lore

And as I felt
The flicker in your eye
Like a wing on my bare arm
My resistance starts to wear down

And I knew
It wouldn’t be long
I knew it was wrong
But what can I say -
The night went your way

I saw the way you looked at me
And I knew
How it would all end
In a messy bed with wrung hands

"Renaut’s voice is more unique and bewitching than her contemporaries or influences." (Eric Shea) ... more
