Thea Gilmore - My Beautiful Defence lyrics

Hey, looks like sleep is here
Its two thirty AM
The town has been cleared and
The traffic has stopped for
The minute at least
We lie like a symphony under the sheets

And earlier today you said "you know, girl
"We're like two different halves
Of two different worlds"
And I said "that's fine
Who says difference repels?"

Like some crackpot play or
Some sketch of fate
We've carried the scripts and the
Times and the dates
In each others arms and our bodies are spent
And you've got the roll
Of my beautiful defence

And I spent some time trying
To sum up your eyes
In a cafe in Oldham Street under Indian skies
Through the racks of your history
And all the crossed lives

And you looked so sad with all
Those ghosts on your trail
When they claw at your skin
You're all secrets and veils
You say "Its dragging me under
The riptide" and I said
"When the whole world comes down I'll
Hold it up round your head"

Like some crackpot play or
Some sketch of fate
We've carried the scripts and the
Times and the dates
In each others arms and our bodies are spent
And you've got the roll
Of my beautiful defence beautiful defence

Maybe we can change the world
It might just take a while
If we're gonna fight our corner we're
Gonna do it with style
You've got the beauty and
You've got the heart
And that is as good a place as any to start
You're my beautiful defence
You're my beautiful defence
