Lyrics You Say You - The Verlaines

You Say You

Your eyes are as black as the black notes
Songs that I wish I had wrote
And I try to remember the moon
And think only one man should have met you
At night when you close your door I feel imprisoned 'til dawn
And I watch the street lamp light through the trees
And the lovers in arms underneath
You say you got it hard
You say you got it tough
You can’t summon enough respect for yourself
You can’t understand how I can
