Some things are too painful to say out loud Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud Words fly through his mouth Like paper butterflies Well they flutter around and put holes in your side
And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you
I knew that you were thinking of him last night 'Cos I saw the blood seep down to your toes Yes, hideaway if you must But how can you put your trust In a man who always sleeps in his clothes?
And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you
And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you
You're the sweet scent on an envelope Or the photo in it's book But if you pin your hopes to his? I'm afraid the bubble will burst I'm afraid that the bubble just might burst
And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you
And he's half in love with Elizabeth And he's half in love with you
