She Was Also Watching Lyrics
A boy in the night
He's never been right
He kicks at a stone
The woman is old
Her hands on the folds
of sheet white as bone
He's heading her way
And she's still awake
It's quarter to four
He kicks at the gate
He's been at the turps
He's lost as a bird
From the window above
She is watching it all
He trips and he falls
As he tries to stand
She smiles in her hand
He's on the Hills hoist
Back door is open
She never closes
it to the night
Still there's a crash
A curse and a smash
she loses a pane
He's been there before
He knows where to go
The end of the hall
He tries to be quiet
While finding the light
And sinks to the floor
By the light of the stars
He searches for hours
Through cupboards and drawers
He opens a book
It slips to the floor
The picture of her
A girl at a ball
Dancing alone
Shot from the side
Her eyes can't hide
That she's in love
with the photographer
The others are blurred
But she's still as a bird
The arch of her back
The line of her neck
The tiniest smile in those
exalted eyes
He's never been right
He kicks at a stone
Her hands on the folds
of sheet white as bone
And she's still awake
It's quarter to four
He's been at the turps
He's lost as a bird
She is watching it all
He trips and he falls
She smiles in her hand
He's on the Hills hoist
She never closes
it to the night
A curse and a smash
she loses a pane
He knows where to go
The end of the hall
While finding the light
And sinks to the floor
He searches for hours
Through cupboards and drawers
It slips to the floor
The picture of her
Dancing alone
Shot from the side
Her eyes can't hide
That she's in love
with the photographer
But she's still as a bird
The arch of her back
The line of her neck
The tiniest smile in those
exalted eyes
