Lyrics Another Day - This Mortal Coil

Another Day

The kettle’s on, the sun has gone, another day
She offers me Tibetan tea on a flower tray
She’s at the door, she wants to score
She dearly needs to say
I loved you a long time ago, you know
Where the wind’s own Forget-me-nots blow
But I just couldn’t let myself go
Not knowing what on earth there was to know
But I wish that I had 'cause I’m feeling so sad
That I never had one of your children
Then across the room, inside a tomb
A chance is waxed and wanes
The night is young
Why are we so hung up in each other’s chains?
I must take her and I must make her while the dove domains
And feel the juice run as she flies
Run my wings under her sighs as the flames of eternity rise
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn
Oh, really, my dear, I can’t see what we fear
Sat here with ourselves in between us
And at the door, we can’t say more than just another day
And without a sound I turn around and I walk away
