The Everlasting Muse
Belle And Sebastian

I want to find this girl I know

I need to take her out

I 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 hang out with my love

The raven-headed sprite

I know I'll never dance like her

Or keep her up at nine

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 core

And make the purest noise

What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain

I serve my window watching close, she will appear again

Still polishing her crazy hair

Still whispering curlies, drunk on song

If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place

And steal a melody

Cause I need only see her face

A thousand 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 called beyond the way

Winds will blow and stones will rage

The music's always sad

Money tends to disappear

Beauty crumbles with the years

But music is for us

Music is for us

What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain

I serve my window watching close, she will appear again

Still polishing her crazy hair

Still whispering curlies, drunk on song

If I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite place

And steal a melody

Cause I need only see her face

A thousand worries fall away

And music rushes in

If I could only see her face and know that he was close

There is a deeper logic here, the everlasting muse

I left the danger for a night

I left the sadness for a day

And know that I am in safe hands

She'll peel the filth and old cigar

An everlasting song

She waves her money straight with zeal

I know she'll start without delay

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
