Seachange - The Key lyrics

We stood in church at your father's request the morning after the night before With your bright red nail varnished finger, you pointed across the pages of biblical text You spoke with looks and smiles showing me through the pa**ages of Ruth And how she successfully obliged in doing all that her mother-in-law told her to do We followed the mother's day sermons with the light streaming in from the east windows We had been read to from the second book of Moses about how his mother saved him from the Pharaoh Oh Its over Casanova Oh She's turned her back on you Oh Its over Casanova Oh You're chasing the kisses that she blew You're hard to please cutesy-coy Woolfey wink-o'-the-eye act could make any man weak at the knees You smoke like an Italian, walk like an Egyptian, you seem to carry it all off with ease Eastern olive skin, waxed legs, great skin, with a consistently good taste in men You like to step out smart, look trim, but without ever following the latest high street trends Now I realize, I'm far from qualified to bring your character into question But it seems to me your world might end without you receiving the correct forms of attention You have the sweetest ways, deistic sways and a perfectly holistic demeanor But when that holier-than-thou tone creeps into you voice, I do think I could live without you Oh Its over Casanova Oh She's turned her back on you Oh Its over Casanova Oh You're chasing the kisses that she blew She Was holding the key To this damned city (And it looked pretty good you know)
