lyrics

I awoke to the feeling
That something had arrived
Watched the postman come and go
Like the flowing of the tide

Yes, I opened up your letter
On Thursday afternoon
I'd been dreaming up an answer
To the thing I asked of you

But your writing's full of spaces
Think you mean for me to find
Some wisdom in the silence
Lovers lost between the lines

Tried to forget about the letter
But it kept me up at night
Heard it calling from the drawing room
"Read by candle light"

So I took it to the attic
Held it underneath the flame
And caught a glimpse of something
Right where you'd signed your name

I saw a face illuminated
Its expression made me cry
For I looked right into your eyes
And knew this was goodbye

Yes a face illuminated
It almost made me cry
You have killed the thing you loved
And now you have to die
