Rufus Wainwright - Peaceful Afternoon lyrics

[Rufus Wainwright - Peaceful Afternoon lyrics]

Well it's coming onto 13 years together, babe
I pray that it’s the luck, a lucky
 lucky number
And although I know I've brought
You joy and happiness, babe
I’ve also been a fe
Fecund resource for anger

'Cause it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it’s all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon

And now that our machine is
Running at full steam
I pray that nothing shucks a
Wrench into the matter
But between sex and death and tryin'
To keep the kitchen clean
Remember wild roses bloom best
In ruins forever after

'Cause it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon
Leaving the living room

Yeah, it's all a part of the game
Yeah, it's all a part of the symphony
And I pray that your face is the last I see
On a peaceful afternoon

And just in case you go before me
Rest assured that of this I can guarantee
That my face
That my face is the last you'll see
On a peaceful afternoon leaving the living
Living room
