Lyrics Faithfully Yours - The Verlaines

Faithfully Yours

I would never have dreaded the sight of your face
If I had got lonely in some other place
But the devil must have intended to divorce me from grace
Oh how like an angel I have fallen
I don’t really remember the depth of my state
I don’t even remember if I question my faith
But I dreamed I wasn’t a human, I was really a snake
Is that any worse than what I woke up to?
I am, you are, all of my dreams come true
Still waters run deep and blue
But it isn’t as deep as the trouble I’m in with you
Someone call me a witness to say I’m insane
Someone tell her my double had taken my place
But the land is lag of a lawyer who would argue my case
And I am both a gaoler and a prisoner
This habit’s older than Adam, the ordinary say
But you ain’t never seen nothing no ordinary way
I can say as I stand here there’s no blood on my face
But if I ever see I know there will be
I am, you are, all of my dreams come true
Still waters run deep and blue
But it isn’t as deep as the trouble I’m in with you
