Love Is Due
A suitcase pushes through at the sound of the bell On the journey going round on the carousel But the figure walks away and leaves it circling there Light on his feet, no burden to bear A spring in his step, to the airport bar, A jug of water, a bottle of Ricard And then he starts to sing a tune called 'Love Is Due' Could he be you? Could it be you singing 'Love is Due'?
The weary waitress washes a glass He raises his, salutes and laughs like a fool Nothing to lose So the glass goes up on its shelf But her eyes let something of herself come through, Something comes through
And the muted news loops on the screen There's noone else there to be seen So she says, 'Hey Elvis what're you singing and who you singing to?' He looks around, flicks a brow, curls his lip up and down, swivels his hips around and says , 'You baby, I'm singing to you and I'm singing 'Love is Due''
Well they laugh like the best of friends She works through her break until the end, she works through, straight through Cool and wise she understands Like only strangers can yeah she's cool, she's cute too
As they make to say goodbye with not a little tenderness She takes his arm and starts to confess she is charmed and She says,'Yes, I believe it's true most things are better shared and I could share with you, and love is due For me for you (I mean timewise.)' 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网
And she says, 'So…this suitcase Are you going to go back and pick it up? You know you're drunk – what if you drop it and it spills all your private stuff? Sending all your secrets spinning All across the concourse floor There could be hundreds looking at this baggage of yours As they wait to be called to board at the gates To fly to the white cliffs and the blue water round the cape Leaving you slightly stiff, truly slaughtered and agape Giving off a mighty whiff of aniseed breath And all abashed from your involuntary confessional, Trashed, Knowing you more..knowing you know they know you more Knowing you know it's true Knowing you know it's true That you carry all this stuff around with you and you don't need to - it's not something you need to do - it's so heavy you're going to get a limp and you're going to stoop Ah, You know you've got to love yourself first Love is due' She said, 'Love is due' (It was quite a speech) She said, 'Love is due' And then she said, 'Ooo'
There's a rainbow as he walks into out the day It's warm, it's wet and it's grey, but there's patches of blue With the sun coming through And you can't tell if it's tears or the rain falling on his face He throws his empty arms out into the space that she walks into and at last they embrace and then he says, 'This is how it starts - let me carry you always, I'll carry you always, Love is due, like a train, I'll carry you, always'
