Such A Small Love Lyrics - Scott - Scott Walker

Mist falls and his voice cracks from the morning 

Flowers and my body feels like lead 

Someone should have stopped the birds from singing today 

Hammers from striking nails into clay 

Her face penetrates the blue gray morning 

Her eyes pregnant pools produce a tear 

Someone should have shouted you had gone in her ear 

That summer was stolen away 

Such a small love 

Such a little tear 

You would laugh so loud 

If you could see us here 

With my one suit 

Badly pressed and worn 

Like a child left 

In the world alone 

He speaks I don't hear a word he's saying 

Hang on to the pine trees and the snow 

Reach out grab the memories that are left for your hand 

They'll help you get by for a while 

Such a small love 

Such a little tear 

Is this all that's left 

On your cheek so pale 

His shallow half lit eyes 

His rotted teeth grown on 

A drunken madman nights 

Ending up in hjail 

With night fallings 

Drenched in day-glo red 

Words collided 

Things we left unsaid 

Perfumed pillows 

Girls that clung so near 

Such a small love 

Such a little tear
