Thompson Songtext
von Ruth Theodore

I woke this morning full of this song
So I′m writing it watching you sleep on and on 'cause
There′s more to this now than just turning me on and I
Need you to be strong Thompson

'Cause when I ask you "Is this love?"
You say "Has it ever been anything but?"
But by now I know you well enough
To know that you're dangerous

Thompson you gotta know me by now
I′m a whole in the ground I′m a rain cloud
And see even now
I'm looking around for a way out


Can you hear me? No? Can you hear me now?
Hold me in the air
Put me to your mouth
What about now? No?
Sometimes better when I go and
Stand in the cold with my head out of the window
I can hear you just about but I can′t understand
Pull your heart from your chest and
Bring it as close as you can
Closer come on closer still
Oh come on I'll come in from the window sill
I′m listening
No man is an island
Hold me to your lungs and scream relief into the silence

Is there anybody out there?
Are you the one?

Thompson I awoke in the night
To find that I need you on side
That I need you more than I realised
More than I care to admit sometimes


'Cause last night you and a pumped up moon collapsed
Down on my chest like a burst balloon And while for me it′s
A half light that fills the room seems like wherever you are
It rains diamonds on neptune asleep in your cave
At the ends of the ocean
Where even the waves turn in
All backwards and broken
And from deep in your mouth
With it's jaw dropped open
Only breaths come and go like words unspoken
And for a moment you stir
But for only a moment
Then you're gone in a beat
The spell unbroken
And left here afraid of the dark you′ve chosen I
Cram it all into words until the vowels split open
And it′s like I'm holding on a line
Calling into a delay watching it all just getting
Further and further away

Is there anybody out there?
Are you the one?

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?

I woke this morning full of this song
So I′m writing it watching you sleep on and on 'cause
There′s more to this now than just turning me on
And I just needed to tell someone
