There's a possum in the tea There's a possum in the tea All that I had was all I'm gon' get There's a possum in the tea There's a possum in the tea All I gon' get is gon' be yours then All I gon' get is gon' be yours still So tell me when you hear my heart stop You're the only one that knows Tell me when you hear my silence There's a possum in the tea I wouldn't know Know that when you leave Know that when you leave By blood and by me you walk like a thief By blood and by me, and I fall when you leave So tell me when you hear my heart stop You're the only one that knows Tell me when you hear my silence There's a possum in the tea I wouldn't know So tell me when my sigh's over You're the reason why I'm closed Tell me when you hear me fallin' There's a possum in the tea it wouldn't show By blood and by me, and I'll fall when you leave By blood and by me, I follow your lead
