Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's closing time in my house, bring the furniture in
Care like a platter offered for a day
Fellow lips, I've drunk too much from the lives of others
Their sorrows have grown stale, cluttering the table
[Instrumental]
And I'll tell you how I dreamt it, I cut you with a stare
No letter could help you reach me now
I tried to be all that you would ask of me
But I am just a friend
[Instrumental]
As hollow as a violin
As hollow as a violin
[Instrumental]
Baby, that's the catch
Your love is a fine suit and it wears me out
And I tear like a shallow paddle through the world with balanced tips
You curl your back in the lap of others and trust into the wind
[Chorus]
I'll leave all this for you to mend
I'll leave all this for you to mend
[Outro]
I'll leave all this for you to mend
I'll leave all this for you to mend
