The Verlaines Slow Sad Love Song lyrics

Slow sad love song, while lying in bed
My brain is alive, my body is dead
Going over the things she said
She had me well read

Asked if you'd take the time to find some common ground
All you had to do was choose it and there I'd be found
Tones of resignation: "I'll probably see you round."
Beautifully put down
A beautiful put down

Sitting in your bedroom and you've sung all your last regrets

Buzzing white lines on the screen of your TV set
Re-light the last portion of your cigarette...
The only thing that you spared me to love was your breath
And now it's gone
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
So long...
To know you
