Neruda

The days are not so long now,
leaf and leaf are down
across our window

And you sleep
like it's forever
and nothing will ever end,

We're caught here
in a fortress
of try and pretend

(Refrain)
Wasn't it Neruda said
love will take you by surprise?

And you sleep
like it's forever
and nothing will ever die

We're caught here
in a fortress
of arms-length lies

(Refrain)
Wasn't it Neruda said
love will catch you off guard?
It'll catch you off guard

The days are not so long now
leaf and leaf are down
across our window
