Lyrics
[verse]
I once knew a girl, or should I say she knew me,
She showed me her room, all cushions and tea,
She asked me to stay and talk until late,
Told me to sit anywhere, there wasn't a chair.
[verse]
I sat on the rug, we talked till the dawn,
She told me she worked in the morning, and yawned,
I laughed and I told her I'd nowhere to go,
She left me to sleep in the bath, cold as snow.
[verse]
I woke up alone, the bird had taken flight,
The room felt as strange as the strangeness last night,
So I lit a small fire, just to feel something true,
Just pine, just wood, and the thought of you.
