Loves Your Company

Yesterday I found out that you have a brand new reason to live
I followed you from afar which was the only way,
I was still connected to you.

It felt like you were, speaking to me a long, long time ago
The way you addressed him and it felt comforting
In its own heartbreaking way

My loneliness loves your company
For it declares a road back to your arms
That has now been closed off for always

Tonight I am wondering if, you took to him like a repeat of what we were
And the same arguments and the subsequent making up and the following breaking down

The little birds look out to sea
Too well acquainted with the old port
Waves break the shore
and it's a long wait
But you and I have got time to kill

And you won't say
Oh, it's not a long, long way 'til dawn
We retrace our steps to when
The final days begin

The whole cast from the old songs
Have since taken a bow and left
When morning comes,
We'll find a way
But tonight the devil will sleep alone.
