There's a Story In Your Voice
Lyricist:Elvis Patrick A Costello
Once upon another time If you had the need I'd step right in the shoes That you've been walking
'Cos someone put the hurt in you For everyone to see And you only have to speak To tell your fortune
'Cos there's a story in your voice Both by damage and by choice It tells of promises and pleasure And another tale of wine and woe The uneasy time to come And the long way 'round we go to get there
Once you told me fairytales Everybody knows But I didn't care For their prediction
Now you say you're leaving me And packing up your clothes I finally see you were A work of fiction
There's a story in your walk Then you crumble just like chalk Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And I could say that I was sorry But I wouldn't mean it much There are pages I can't touch And something that's been torn out of this chapter
Far away, not far enough 'Cause I can still recall How it felt when I read That last sentence
Now I go inside some rooms With Gideon in them all And hide myself From all hope of repentance
There's a story in your eyes Cheap sunglasses might disguise But when the bedroom light reveals All that bravado and that fright That you cover up in spite Attempts to strip away this fabrication
There's a story in your voice Both by damage and by choice It tells of promises and pleasure And a tale of wine and woe The uneasy time to come And the long way 'round we go to get there
