I have my favourite shadows

Ghosts and other courts bizarre

Sometimes I believe I'm your mistress

Sometimes you are dying in my arms



You visit when I am listening to the Earth turn

You ask me if I know your name

I can smell the sweetness of the silence

I wonder if your lips taste quite the same

I love I love bigger than I had planned

O I love I love a stranger a loney man



Can I have a picture of your calm face

You can have the space behind my eyes

When we finally meet to drink some tea

I somehow know it won't be a surprise



O Love o Love it's silly it's juvenile

I love I love a quiet but a dead man's smile

I love it's silly it's juvenile

I love I love a quiet a dead man's smile

O love O love . . . bigger than I had planned

I love I love a stranger a lonely man
