Taking My Life in Your Hands — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to you too late

And its really just a silly fragment of paper

But it means so much to those who wait

All the suffering days and nights til I dare dream again

There you suddenly stand and Ill be damned if you

Didnt disappear with the dawn



Chorus:

Hours pass and darkness comes

Soon I will close my eyes

Will you return if you dont reply

Youll be taking my life in your hands

Youll be taking my life in your hands

Taking my life in your hands



I dont know why my dearest darling

I cant tell you how I feel when you are near

When I see you have returned my letters unopened

I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears

But youre kidding yourself if you think this

Correspondence will end

I can always pretend words I dont have the courage to

Send

Reach you



Repeat chorus
