My Last Tango — текст песни (Nerina Pallot)

Thousands, no millions of hours
We`ve been skirting around this whole subject
Like children stuck in a museum.
And i`m dry now.
My mouth will not speak, i`m weary and weak
And I only wanted to see you again.

If that`s unfair, just let me know,
Just write it down, and then i`ll go.

But you skate around my human skin
An apple where your throat begins
Just say....
Just tell the stars to give a sign,
Put it in a bottle.....
Say you`re mine.

And it`s better, better than music,
Better than words to be with you
But better that we`re apart.
Can`t you feel it?
It`s taken me over, left me for dead like Ophelia.
Who knew a prince and survived?

And so I ask in every line
That I might learn of your design

Because you skate around my human skin
Your name is where my heart begins
Just say....
Just tell the stars to give a sign,
Put it in a bottle...
Say you`re mine.

Because you skate around my human skin
Your name is where my heart begins
Just say....
Just tell the stars to give a sign,
Put it in a bottle...
Say you`re mine.
