This Is What You're Like

I'd give a lot

I'd give a lot to hear him

tell me lies like that again

tell me much of anything.

It's true, he talks

It's true, he talks, but it's not

Anything like it was then

Anything like it was

when he talked the way a bird sings,

just to sing.

This is what you're like

Do you remember?

This is what you once were like.

You are a man who when the music dies away

You keep on dancing

And when there's nothing left to say

You tell me lies

You wrote a poem

You wrote a poem about me

Swimming in the open sea

You loved my eyebrows and my stomach and my knobby knees

I loved your mouth

I loved your mouth and every story that you told to me

Where is it you've gone?

How can I find you?

I heard you weeping in the dawn

But you won't say if I can bring you back alive

I'll come and find you

I can't help thinking you survived

Just went astray.

This is what you're like

Try to remember

This is what you once were like

Where is it you've gone? How can I find you?

Where is it you've gone?

Do you remember, you are a man who

Told me you loved me

You are a man who told me you loved me,

Do you remember?

This is what you're like

Try to remember
