Slow Sad Love Song by The Verlaines Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slow sad love song, while lying in bed
My brain is alive, my body's dead
Going over the things she said
She had me well read
She had me well read

[Verse 2]
Asked you if you'd take the time to find some common ground
All you had to do was choose it, and there I'd be found
Tones of resignation, I'll probably see you 'round
Beautifully put down, a beautiful put-down

[Verse 3]
Sitting in your bedroom and you've sung all your last regrets
Buzzing white lines on the screen of your tv set
Re-light the last portion of your cigarette
The only thing that you spared me to love was your breath
And now it's gone
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
So long
To know you, oh
