The shadows fill the corners across the square They come a-crawling to offer shelter, to haul me in Without a needlepoint in the light And the steel to still your tongue The night hides a multitude of uncovered sins The heart beating in Capricorn, I take on a guise They won't define me anytime in the English rain Will I feel an automatic release from all this pain? With no movement, undiscovered, I lie in wait
So what if you're sentimental And I'm out of tears, out of sympathy? I'll make it look accidental And I'll leave no sign to say your life was mine No-one I think fell out of my tree No-one I carried just the same Thinner than most sinners and saints alive Dare you speak my name? So what if you're temperamental And I'm out of tears, out of sympathy? So what if I'm elemental?
