You left your black gloves on my table You left your dark horse in the stable Thinking of a way to get you to stay And I'll promise to fight the wind and waves for you I'm an owl with tired eyes I'm the scarecrow in disguise The absolute con I would babe sing When all I want to do is stay inside And look out the window with you There was a dead mouse in your arms That was the moment that you lost your charm No bear paw sitting in a jar And your tree, it never grew any leaves Shake my arms, shake my head I fell asleep on your cobweb And I'm turning from all the lights tonight Saw you in a crowded bar, pale with hungry eyes
