Roisin Murphy - Unputdownable lyrics

A quiet place to sit A little light to see Some time to read Is really all I need You're unputdownable A story so confounding The pages turn so easily You are my favourite book And I like to spend my time I'm fully occupied Reading between the lines You're unputdownable A plot that's so unpredictable That I read on compulsively Well, I'm left in confusion By your epilogue Where is the conclusion Our narrative arc? Well, it's just been enthralling The disbelief suspended On time Standing still No myth or fairy tale Will ever be quite the same No moral to the story You only go down in a blaze of glory You're unputdownable A fable so fantastical I've learned to read voraciously And when at last I come to the end I turn back to page one and again Pour over every word Beautiful and absurd You're unputdownable A story so astounding Could only be the truth, you see Well, I don't like intrusions And if I had my way I'd close the door behind me And they'd all melt away I'd open up the book and Climb right out of this time If you'd let me If you'd be so kind If you'd allow me To read your mind If you'd let me If you'd be so kind If you'd allow me To read your mind To read your mind
