EN
I ought to leave enough hot water For your morning bath, but I'd not thought I hate to hear you talk that way But I can't bring myself to say I'm sorry The past is always knocking incessant Trying to break through into the present We have to work to keep it out But I won't be the first to SHOUT it's over I used to want to plant bombs at the Last Night of the Proms But now you'll find me with the baby, in the bathroom, With that big shell, listening for the sound of the sea I steal a kiss from you in the supermarket I walk you down the aisle, you fill my basket And through it all, the stick I take Is worth it for the love we make I used to want to plant bombs at the Last Night of the Proms But now you'll find me with the baby, in the bathroom, With that big shell, listening for the sound of the sea, The baby and me I stayed in bed, alone, uncertain Then I met you, you drew the curtain The sun came up, the trees began to sing The light shone in on everything. I love you. The sun came up, the trees began to sing The light shone in on everything. I love you.
