My Last Tango Songtext
von Nerina Pallot

Thousands, no millions of hours
We′ve been skirting around this whole subject
Like children stuck in a museum
And I'm dry now
My mouth will not speak, I′m weary and weak
And I only wanted to see you again

If that's unfair, just let me know
Just write it down, and then I'll go

′Cause you skate around my human skin
An apple where your throat begins
Just say, just tell the stars to give a sign
Put it in a bottle, say you′re mine


And it's better, better than music
Better than words to be with you
But better that we′re apart
Can't you feel it?
It′s taken me over, left me for dead like Ophelia
Who knew a prince and survived?

And so I ask in every line
That I might learn of your design

'Cause you skate around my human skin
And name is where my heart begins
Just say, just tell the stars to give a sign
Put it in a bottle, say you′re mine

'Cause you skate around my human skin
Your name is where my heart begins
Just say, just tell the stars to give a sign
Put it in a bottle, say you're mine
