Salad Days [Are Here Again] lyrics

You come to me at midnight

And say: "It's dark in here"

You know you robbed me of my sight,

And light is what I fear.

I tell you that I cannot see,

But you persist in showing me

Those bangles that I paid for long ago.

And though my face is smiling,

I'm really feeling low.

And though you say you're with me,

I know that it's not so.

Your skin crawls up an octave,

Your teeth have lost their gleam.

The peaches snuggle closer down

Into the clotted cream.

And for some unknown reason

My watch begins to chime.

And though I beg and plead with you,

You tell me it's not time.

And though my face is smiling,

I'm really feeling low.

And though you say you're with me,

I know that it's not so.

The sun seeps through the window

To see if we're still dead,

To try to throw some light upon

The gloom around our bed.

At quarter-past the doorbell rings,

The water faucet drips and sings

And still my reason will not rhyme,

And still you tell me it's not time.

And though my face is smiling,

I'm really feeling low.

Though you say you're with me,

I know that it's not so.

Really isn't so!
