(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  

It's all the love there is tonight.   

I can't be brave enough   

She cannot say what we're feeling   

Day after day  

We're 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  

We're at that point here love has gone  

The fuse is lit, it won't be long  

I take a walk, she cleans the house  

This is the end, I'm in no doubt  

But neither one of us can show  

The slightest sign of letting go
