Would their limbs bronze insult to the sun? I wondered how it feels but then I rarely dream of anyone In the songs of shame and the tales of dread Where they seal the lovers' lips with lead And all the vines wind through their eyes But no one knows this passion now But no one knows this passion now So I keep this fancy to myself I keep my lipstick twisted tight I long to fall to sleep again 'Cause I dreamed of my old lover last night I long to fall to sleep again 'Cause I dreamed of my old lover last night Album Lyrics: Secret, Profane and Sugarcane [2009] Elvis Costello "Secret, Profane and Sugarcane [2009]" 1.
