Belle & Sebastian - The Everlasting Muse lyrics

I want to find this girl I know I need to take her out I set a snare in evening air Made of faith and hope and doubt I want to spend some time with her Learn the secrets of her trade I wouldn't mean to cross the line And look into the other side Forbidden to my kind Forbidden to my kind I need to hang out with my love The raven-headed sprite I know I'll never dance like her Or keep her up at nine I need to hang around with her I need to let her know Her cause is mine I'm but a slave I look into her wondrous gaze And taste the strangest core And make the purest noise What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain I serve my window watching close, she will appear again Still polishing her crazy hair Still whispering curlies, drunk on song If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place And steal a melody 'Cause I need only see her face A thousand worries fall away And music rushes in Listen to the sound of life Drink deep of the day Wait for her, but don't obsess She called beyond the way Winds will blow and stones will rage The music's always sad Money tends to disappear Beauty crumbles with the years But music is for us Music is for us What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain I serve my window watching close, she will appear again Still polishing her crazy hair Still whispering curlies, drunk on song If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place And steal a melody 'Cause I need only see her face A thousand worries fall away And music rushes in If I could only see her face and know that he was close There is a deeper logic here, the everlasting muse I left the danger for a night I left the sadness for a day And know that I am in safe hands She'll peel the filth and old cigar An everlasting song She waves her money straight with zeal I know she'll start without delay A tapestry of words A subtle gift to modern rock She says, be popular, play pop And you will win my love A subtle gift to modern rock She says, be popular, play pop And you will win my love
