lyrics

Put all my love letters in dress-shoe boxes,
Kept the house impeccably clean,
Got my cologne in the refrigerator,
And frozen dinners buy-one-get-one-free

Active minds will follow idle bodies,
Ironing receipts of take-out Chinese,
I'm having problems with articulation,
So I'll knit hats for the cats to wear on holiday

And I... can't say it,
I guess I'll put it down somewhere in writing for you,
With a card, or a post it or something,
But I wouldn't know what weight of paper to use

Our friend Jon Sanning is getting married,
And the moon will crash into the sea
Under the waves will we all be buried,
In Neptune's realm we meet our final destiny

Speaking of which I thought I should put in,
How I've never quite come clean,
It's not a question of my depth of feeling,
It's just an answer I know but cannot speak

And I... can't say it,
Can I get you some more of that Tarte Flambé?
Or a soft drink? You know I love...
William Faulkner & Doris Day

After years of pain the words remain,
What I say is my only truth,
And to say it finally makes me free,
It was never you it was always me

I would wait by your side for the tide to rise,
And carry you on my back to shore,
I would carry you across the sun,
I will love you in a world undone

And now I say it
At last I say it
Oh my darling what you mean to me
In every thought
In every feeling
You're the ghost that haunts me out to sea

And all the sirens
With all their sweet song
Couldn't lure me away from you
My course is charted
No deviation
I will not hide my love from view
