The Mater - Saint Sister

I fell into you in the shadow of the staircase

Washed my hands of you in the kitchen sink

And in that house I knew we’d never close this distance

You said baby, we are closer than you think

So I made love to the idea of your involvement

And the conversation we had in the dark

You said you’d never judge the way I solve my problems

Then you left me in the garden talking art

I just wished we laughed in time, that’s all

I just wished we laughed in time, that’s all

That’s all

Fell out of my soft head the night we left The Mater

Bravo maestro, never seen the sky so pink

Fell into your soft bed and stayed the morning after

I said, «Baby, we are colder than we think»

So I made love to the idea of your approval

And the conversations we had with our hands

I don’t go in for that sort of thing, I told you

Then I sang, «Stand By Your Man»

I just wished we laughed in time, that’s all

I just wished we laughed in time, that’s all

That’s all

I should have told you then that I had slipped you on inside my head

There are bits of you in every journey home

Is it so bad, I like the way I look from your side of the bed

You said baby, did you think I didn’t know?

Still, I made love to the idea of our collusion

And the conversation we had on the floor

While the backroom boys earned our disapproval

Come on David, sing one more

I just wished we laughed in time, that’s all

I just wished we laughed in time, that’s all

That’s all
