Over the Rhine - How Does It Feel (To Be On My Mind) lyrics

Now if I could disclose secrets heaven only knows If I'd lose all my ground and see your smile decompose So I rest on the fact that I love you I suppose And I hang like the colors on a blind man's clothes How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel To be on my mind I'm the pale moon rising I'm the ghost in flight That steals through the spaces of your inward night I'm the moth that's resting on your window sill With a lust for light and an iron will Pray tell talk to me can you feel me in the fingers Of the wind in your hair as if I'm standing there Very well like a child running to some mademoiselle In his hand to his ear is pressed a great seashell I'm the moon-eyed fish swimming up to you You're the tall Titanic but you'll be subdued There's someone mapping out a rendezvous It seems to me You're in my shadow here in my room Love's such a strange word here in my room I'm standing barefoot here in my room Sad as a gypsy here in my room
