lirik lagu set the table (the one that got away) – slowly slowly
set the table in the courtyard
silent movie black and white
we developed in a darkroom
came to focus out of sight
but certain things just never die
i could feel you in my life
a flower blooming in reverse
light pollution in the sky
you were holding onto me
while you held the midwives hand
and i would sing my songs to you
picture how you used to stand
in my doorway, backed by light
by the kitchen sink at night
limbs all tangled in the sheets
i pray for mercy in repeats
i try to string into words
the way the years have chipped away
they were crawling on their bellies
new year’s eve and christmas day
on your birthday and on mine
when the wind would hit my face
i always hoped the gust of wind
had brushed across yours on the way
you think of me from time to time
when i was yours and you were mine
but we lost a baby, lost our love
and i just wasn’t good enough
darling we parted long ago
we couldn’t see around the bends
you’re the one that got away
and i just want it all to end
i sip my wine around my smiles
shining eyes my body stills
what a lovely meal my darling
i couldn’t taste the sleeping pills
i set the table in the courtyard
silent movie
black and white
i will wait for you to join me
for an endless summer night
for an endless summer night
but the neighbours smelled the burning
i had left the oven on
revived at 5 o’clock this morning
i guess there’s something i forgot
lying here i see it clearly
i never wanted to forget
i would make myself remember
pathetic junkie for regret
but i will not be victim to
the broken love i have for you
if i can dig a hole to die in
i’ll build a life to live in too
