Might sound funny But when your heart is nearly new You say "I'll try" rather than "I do" Yeah, "I'll try and get there in the end" The cuckoo is a pretty bird It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard And it reminds me how you stole into my heart And then throw everything away Away And it's tragic It's disgraceful The way that you and me could turn out being so tasteful And I know we said we won't But you can call me if you want And you know I'm always there I thought you'd like to know I still think you are the most Though you left me living here Still married to a ghost Oh, it gets so cold at night-time Never knew it got so cold at night-time But sometimes dreams come true One night when the moon is blue Then I may come to you With a love that's nearly new Oh my love Well I tried to love you But I guess I'm out of practice And practising is strictly for the birds The cuckoo is a pretty bird It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard And it reminds me how you stole into my heart And then threw everything away And you stay And it's tragic Yeah, it's so shoddy The way you're making love to someone else's body Oh, but my flesh can go and crawl halfway up the bedroom wall And you know I'm always there I thought you'd like to know I still think you are the most Though you left me living here Forever married to a ghost Oh, it gets so cold at night-time Never knew it got so cold at night-time But sometimes dreams come true So one night when the moon is blue Then I may come to you With a love that's nearly new
