Elvis Costello & the Imposters

There's a Story in Your Voice
Once upon another timeIf you had the needI'd step right in your shoes that you've been walking'Cause someone put the hurt in youFor everyone to seeAnd you only have to speak to tell your fortuneThere's a story in your voiceBoth by damage and by choiceIt tells of promises and pleasureAnd a tale of wine and woeThe uneasy time to comeAnd the long way round we go to get thereOnce you told me fairy talesEverybody knowsBut I didn't care for their predictionNow you say you're leaving meAnd packing up your clothesI finally see you were a work of fictionThere's a story in your walkThen you crumble just like chalkAnd I could say that I was sorryBut I wouldn't mean it muchThere are pages I can't touchLetras de cancionesAnd something that's been torn out of this chapterFar away, not far enough'Cause I can still recallHow it felt when I read that last sentenceNow I go inside some rooms with Gideon in them allAnd hide myself from all hope of repentanceThere's a story in your eyesCheap sunglasses might disguiseBut when the bedroom light revealsAll that bravado and that frightThat you cover up in spiteAttempts to strip away this fabricationThere's a story in your voiceBoth by damage and by choiceIt tells of promises and pleasureAnd a tale of wine and woeThe uneasy time to comeAnd the long way round we go to get there From Letras Mania
