(i Can't Seem To) Lyrics - The Clientele

In the silence of the garden 

Moths are rising on the wind 

And the beast is pondering love, love, love 

'Till the rusty nails grow dim 

I can't seem to make you mine through the long and lonely night 

And I try so hard, darling 

But the crowd pulled you away through the ribbons and the rain 

And the ivy coiled around my hands 

So I lingered with the people 

In the silent August glade 

But the rain has brought the night 

And the night has brought the rain
