I Live In The Room Above Her

歌詞

I live in the room above her And she doesn't know my name But I'm afraid that if I see her I will not see you again Sometimes she passes by the window Her skin is pearl and pale and ghost And I hear someone crying sometimes Like there is really something wrong I hear her singin' "Lay down in my arms Lover, you will one day Miss all my charms So come on Lay down in my arms Sleep, baby, sleep The cruel morning is not very far" I never see her watch the sunrise I hear a record lightly play Sometimes I think I hear some movement Like something can't get away Now there's a picture in a Bible That I swear I've seen before Where she was bathing on the rooftop While David looked on I hear her singin' "Lay down in my arms Lover, you will one day Miss all my charms So come on Lay down in my arms Sleep, baby, sleep The cruel morning is not very far" I hear her singin' "Lay down in my arms Lover, you will one day Miss all my charms So come on Lay down in my arms Sleep, baby, sleep The cruel morning is not very far" I live in the room above her And I never make a sound Except for the matches for the candles And the radio turned down
