Stephen Duffy - In the Evening of Her Day lyrics

Getting high every night Until I couldn't see the sunshine in the light Start again, draw some fire Defy the built in obsolescence and soft desire When love's the only thing it hurts to lose In the evening of her day Ophelia comes to court me Not that I could stay away Her kisses seem to haunt me It's an accident of birth That had me born a loser Hanging like a bird of prey But fated not to capture Her tender touch Sleepless nights, I walk the streets It was kind of like a movie but not as deep What might've been and what will be Embraced each other in conspiracy The night drum always plays a requiem In the evening of her day Ophelia comes to court me Not that I could stay away Her kisses seem to haunt me It's an accident of birth That had me born a loser Hanging like a bird of prey That never seems to capture Her tender touch I fell so high from the ferris wheel And all the fairground lights Were flickering sweet delights So, so, tell me why is it that I feel I tripped, stumbled, slipped and fell? Left drowning in the wishing well In the evening of her day Ophelia came to court me Not that I could stay away Her kisses seem to haunt me It's an accident of birth That had me born a loser Hanging like a bird of prey But fated not to capture Her tender touch (that I need so much)
