The Everlasting Muse - Belle & Sebastian

I want to find this girl I know

I need to take her out

I'll 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 hangout with my love

The raven headed sprite

I know I'll never dance like her

Or keep her up at night

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 chord

And make the purest noise

What I would do to meet the girl

I'd stand out in the rain

Outside my window watching close

She will appear again

Still polishing her crazy nails

Still wispy careless drunk on song

If I could only right my wrongs

And take her to my favourite place

And steal a melody

'Cause I need only see her face

And doubts and 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'll go the other way

Winds will blow and storms will rage

The news is always sad

Money tends to disappear

Beauty crumbles with the years

But music is for us

Music is for us

Music is for us

Music is for us

What I would do to meet the girl

I'd stand out in the rain

Outside my window watching close

She will appear again

Still polishing her crazy nails

Still wispy careless drunk on song

If I could only right my wrongs

And take her to my favourite place

And steal a melody

'Cause I need only see her face

And doubts and worries fall away

And music rushes in

If I could only see her face

And know that she was close

There is a deeper magic here

The Everlasting Muse

I left the danger for an hour

I left the sadness for a day

I know that I am in safe hands

She pays the bill and smokes cigars

And on the napkin silk

She weaves a manuscript with skill

An intro outro middle 8

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
