Took the key out of the lock
And threw it in the moat
Didn’t see a face
Only kissed a throat
And the sky looked heavier
Than a mothers face at a father’s funeral
And the morning after was crisper
Than what came before our love
The train was busier than new year’s eve in Edinburgh
And the jokes got blacker than Hemingway’s lungs
Naughts and crosses on planes and buses
Lightning bolts during midnight rushes
The dealer don’t deal he schemes and steals
He knocks for more on red top floor doors
You took you tea, much stronger than your men
Found a way that goes clean in and out
So take me back to before we found out
Took the key out of the lock
And threw it in the moat
Didn’t watch it sink
Because I knew it couldn’t float
