Lyrics - The Song Inside the Song

Lyrics - The Song Inside the Song

Intro

(organ sustained, two voices barely audible, humming the same note)

Verse

The room was warm, the room was cold I said it at the same time, I said it at the same time The bulb above us held its note Neither warm nor cold, the sound of not deciding

Chorus

And the song fell inside another song And the voice fell inside another voice And neither left the room And the room was the song And the room was the song

Verse

The tea was good, the tea was bitter The cup went round, we drank from the same side The door was open, the door was shut The draught came through, the draught was the agreement

Chorus

And the song fell inside another song And the voice fell inside another voice And neither left the room And the room was the song And the room was the song

Bridge

You stayed, you left I said it in the same clause The hand that reaches and the hand that pulls Are the same hand at the same moment The same hand at the same moment

Outro

The room was warm, the room was cold I was the room, I was the room (lower voice fades first, upper voice holds the last note, organ sustains)
