Elvis Costello - Sparkling Day lyrics

Oh, it was such a sparkling day That I should be singing its praises Just to catch my senses as they slip away But my sentences and phrases Are about as worthless as wonder can be And there are words that I could say Perhaps I lack the sense of occasion Seems that I've been looking down so long you see That it seemed like up to me I should be ashamed, I'm sure you will agree So don't go calling out for Jude or Anthony Maybe I was lost, I'm a hopeless case So that every night I listen carefully But there was no message for me No message for me Sparkling day, sparkling day Things I never said Some things you never heard Sparkling day, sparkling day Now I wait in vain to see That there was no message for me When love is constant and content You always fear some lingering temptation Silhouettes escaping underneath locked doors I'm astonished and amazed Perhaps my message was erased So don't go calling out for Jude or Anthony Maybe I was lost, I'm a hopeless case But then every night I listen carefully But there was no message for me No message for me Sparkling day, sparkling day Things I never said Some things you never heard Sparkling day, sparkling day Now I wait in vain to see That there was no message from me
