Singing Stripe by Georgia Mulligan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you wished that I were different
And I wished the same of you
I'd hope that someone wise
Would tell us the truth
Tell us how the pain I bring you
Is nothing more than my own
And promise that the tears
In your eyes will set like stones
Given time
A little time

[Verse 2]
And the ones that we love most
Hold us to the keenest blade
Whose singing stripe can cut
Us to the bone with blame
Someone to say it's alright
For me to miss you now
And to hold me tight
When the ghost of you comes rattling
[Chorus]
All night
At my window
All night
With your shadow over me

[Bridge]
And will I already know
When the wind has moved you on?
I'll feel it in my bones
When you have up and gone
Can I hold myself tight enough now?
When the ghost of you comes rattling
Comes rattling, comes rattling

[Chorus]
At my window
All night
At my window
All night
With your shadow over me
At my window

[Outro]
And I'll let you off the hook
For all you've said and done
If you could let me breathe
A little on my own
