Belle & Sebastian - The Everlasting Muse Lyrics

I want to find this girl I know
I need to take her out
I set a snare in evening air
Made of faith and hope and doubt
I want to spend some time with her
Learn the secrets of her trade
I wouldn't mean to cross the line
And look into the other side
Forbidden to my kind
Forbidden to my kind

I need to hang out with my love
The raven-headed sprite
I know I'll never dance like her
Or keep her up at nine
I need to hang around with her
I need to let her know
Her cause is mine
I'm but a slave
I look into her wondrous gaze
And taste the strangest core
And make the purest noise

What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain
I serve my window watching close, she will appear again
Still polishing her crazy hair
Still whispering curlies, drunk on song
If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place
And steal a melody
'Cause I need only see her face
A thousand worries fall away
And music rushes in

Listen to the sound of life
Drink deep of the day
Wait for her, but don't obsess
She called beyond the way
Winds will blow and stones will rage
The music's always sad
Money tends to disappear
Beauty crumbles with the years
But music is for us
Music is for us

What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain
I serve my window watching close, she will appear again
Still polishing her crazy hair
Still whispering curlies, drunk on song
If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place
And steal a melody
'Cause I need only see her face
A thousand worries fall away
And music rushes in

If I could only see her face and know that he was close
There is a deeper logic here, the everlasting muse
I left the danger for a night
I left the sadness for a day
And know that I am in safe hands
She'll peel the filth and old cigar
An everlasting song
She waves her money straight with zeal
I know she'll start without delay
A tapestry of words
A subtle gift to modern rock
She says, be popular, play pop
And you will win my love

A subtle gift to modern rock
She says, be popular, play pop
And you will win my love
