The Appointment Lyrics - Singles - Clockwork Monkey

Lie with me my darling 

We'll talk of burning things 

The black urgency of the horses' eyes 

Melted in the street 

The faint smell of hibiscus 

The cracks around your lips 

Slowly painted over 

In some morning before this 

My love, I stood for days 

Trying to piece back into place 

All the words that fused together 

In the fluffy ashen pages 

I surrendered every one of them 

And the case that couldn't come with them 

Just to be with you 

To be surrounded by your room 

With its outline of a fireplace 

Behind the chair, by the fern 

Talk with me my darling 

We'll lie of burning things 

The girl ablaze by the lake 

Though I could never have seen it 

Your light breeze from the ceiling fan 

And traffic hum downstairs 

That thing you do with your left foot 

At the edge of the carpet squares 

My love, I could never sleep 

Beneath the blankets nor the sheets 

Beyond the new meridian 

Scratched into my years 

I surrendered every one of them 

The long long days, the months of green 

Just to be with you 

To be surrounded by your room 

With its sunlight on an absent mantle 

And the hour ending soon 

Our hour ending soon
