Ripe As The Night

Ripe As The Night
And I watch the birds
Even though they don't
Sing for me
I just like to watch
They're flying again
Like the ghost of something
That never was
I'm lying, I'm lying
I'm lying again
I'm lying, I'm lying
I'm lying again

I'm lying, I'm lying
I'm lying again
I'm lying, I'm lying
I'm lying again
Pearl on my cheek
And another
Salt, not sweet
The taste of my longing
To be haunting
Not the haunted
And in an eye wink
I'll be gone at once
I'm lying, I'm lying
I'm lying again
I'm lying, I'm lying
I'm lying again
I'm lying, I'm lying
I'm lying again
I'm lying, I'm lying
I'm lying again
When they unlock the cage
Isn't it a pity that I have the key
And I say the words
And I say the words
Even though they don't
Sing for me
Sing for me
Sing for me
Sing for me
