Slow Sad Love Song - The Verlaines

Slow sad love song, while lying in bed

My brain is alive, my body’s dead

Going over the things she said

She had me well read

She had me well read

Asked you if you’d take the time to find some common ground

All you had to do was choose it, and there I’d be found

Tones of resignation, I’ll probably see you 'round

Beautifully put down, a beautiful put-down

Sitting in your bedroom and you’ve sung all your last regrets

Buzzing white lines on the screen of your tv set

Re-light the last portion of your cigarette

The only thing that you spared me to love was your breath

And now it’s gone

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long, it’s been good to know you

So long

To know you, oh
