(difford/tilbrook)

She plaits her hair, I bite my nails
We balance love on the scales
I wind the clock and go to bed
Our love is hanging on a thread
She gets undressed, I undress too
The draft is cold in my bedroom
We cuddle up and say goodnight
Its all the love there is tonight.
I cant be brave enough
She cannot say what were feeling
Day after day
Were going through the motions
We find it hard to let each other go

She boils the eggs, I make the tea
Outside the sun shines on the street
Were at that point here love has gone
The fuse is lit, it wont be long
I take a walk, she cleans the house
This is the end, Im in no doubt
But neither one of us can show
The slightest sign of letting go
