The One You Love Songtext
von Rufus Wainwright

The mind has so many pictures
Why can′t I sleep with my eyes open
The mind has so many memories
Can you remember what it looks like when I cry

I'm trying, trying to tell you
All that I can is sweet and velvet tongue
But no words ever could sell you
Sell you on me after all that I have done

I′m only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?


The lady gloom and her hornets
Circling 'round is now before us
The screaming's done without moving
One little move and for sure you will be stung

I′m singing "Oh, Jerusalem, oh, Jerusalem"
See what he′s picked up in the park
Let's fuck this awful art party
Want you to make love to me and only to me in the dark

I′m only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?

We've traded in our snap shots
We′re going through the motions
Into the view, I'm leaving you
Down Conduit Avenue, into the early morning
Into the early morning

The one I love
Are you only the one I love?
