Lover's Touch

Blood on the formica looks so absurd.
She should be more careful and watch her words.
Now the panorama she used to see has shrunken to a small screen.
Buy a vowel or take a spin and hope tonight he won't be mean.
For better or worse now, she understands.
Things seem better and then he raises his hand again,
And if anything's worse than his darkest nights,
She doesn't need to know.
Buy a novel, take to bed, cling to the shadows of long ago.
True love gone to waste.
See the lines captivity can leave on a face.
Well, the blows themselves don't hurt so much;
It's the time between - the terror of a lover's touch.
Mr. Moonlight, can you do something for her?
She put her trust in you, gave herself up too
And now she's caught on the wrong side of the night...

And if anything's worse than his darkest nights,
She doesn't need to know.
Buy a novel, take to bed, cling to the shadows of long ago.
True love gone to waste.
See the lines captivity can leave on a face.
Well, the blows themselves don't hurt so much;
It's the time between - the terror of a lover's touch.
