If I get my check this month I'll buy him some shoes A new umbrella only lightly used Since the separation my love has been unused Can we spend the night together? I'll pick up the papers we need to sign Bring 'em with some wine You could drop him at a friend of mines We could lie once more together You were born forever Capable of so much love How can I love with grace Living yet separated How can I love with grace Living yet separated If I get my check this month I'll buy him some shoes And take apart my empty palace too This is all that we made of our vow A curtain and a bow A mirage of permanence How can I love With grace Living yet separated We could lie once more together You were born forever Capable of so much love We could lie once more apart Naked in the dark Capable at heart
