Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Upon a veil of midnight blue 

There hung a crescent moon 

To light the view 

But I don't whisper the words 

When the moment arose 

I wonder how he knows 

You say your tongue is tied 

Your words escape and hide 

But he's so patient and kind 

He's prepared to read your mind 

That's very well till you find 

Because of the wine you drank 

Your mind is still a blank 

I wonder how he knows 

I guess I will wonder until 

I pluck up the courage to tell him 

How I feel 

So close I can feel his heart tremble 

That look in his eyes as they close 

I wonder how he knows
