[ ode to her ]

"Rented Rooms"
Tindersticks

Theres the same hotel,
and we can go there now
We can go there now if you want to

Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
It was only hours
It seemd such a short while
We had no time to cry
Or sit and wonder why

We had so many things started to say
We had to get through
We tried the cinema
Within half an hour
We had to go find someplace else

Some more. . . you know
We tried a drinking bar
It gets so very hard
And when the cab ride gets too long
We go fuck in the bathroom

We cant afford the time to sit and cry
Or to wonder why
Weve got so many things started to say
We had to get through

Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
We had so many things started to say
We had to get through

We cant afford the time to sit and cry
Or to wonder why
Weve got so many things started to say
We had to get through
We havent got the time for telling lies
Or to even try
Theres only days in between
Theres just tomorrow

Through the doors of that rented room
Yeah, we stumbled through
It was only hours it seemed such a short while
In those pillows all the feathers that hold all our dreams
Whispered at the scene

Now they just seem to float on a breeze
I could have wrapped that pillow around my head
Face down on the bed
I could have drowned in those so-called dreams
