The Absent Touch Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

The cat sleeps in the red chair 

My lover combs her jet black hair 

There's mystery in a way of walking 

It's witching hour no need to talk 

And there are diamonds in our bed 

I put your hands about my head 

My lover worships the sun 

Her body is the amazon 

My lover is of royal birth 

My lover smells of the good earth

I give my love my life to wear 

I taste my life in that black hair 

At three o'clock it's time to say 

Rest you love till break of day 

Rest you love till break of day 

Though I won't phone nor will I write 

I wish you happiness tonight 

I thank you for this witching hour 

I give you love, I give you power

I run my fingers through your soul 

I know my love you make me whole 

Forgive me if I say too much 

I am in love with absent touch
