Couldn't Call It Unexpected No. 4 |
| I saw a girl who’d found her consolation |
| She said «One day my Prince of Peace will come» |
| Above her head a portrait of her father |
| The wilted favour that he gave her still fastened to the frame |
| «They've got his bones and everything he owns |
| I’ve got his name» |
| Well you can laugh at this sentimental story |
| But in time you’ll have to make amends |
| The sudden chill where lovers doubt their immortality |
| As the clouds cover the sky the evening ends |
| Describing a picture of eyes finally closing |
| As you sometimes glimpse terrible faces in the fire |
| Well, I’m the lucky goon |
| Who composed this tune |
| From birds arranged on the high wire |
| Who on earth is tapping at the window? |
| Does that face still linger at the pane? |
| I saw you shiver though the room was like a furnace |
| A shadow of regret across a young mother’s face |
| So toll the bell or rock the cradle |
| Please don’t let me fear anything I cannot explain |
| I can’t believe, I’ll never believe in anything again |
