Lyrics
What is it you say?
Everything's okay?
You have no trouble with this all
You merely put me away
Into your dark compartment
Your heart of heart
Wants someone else
I too, try not to care
So, I come and go
And try to find my peace everywhere
(Bridge)
You've found me out
There's nowhere else I want to go
But you fold me up like a jack knife
Don't you know?
And you stick me in your dark compartment
And then you go....
You always could remember names
A gift so rare from all that's real
We breathe so softly there
Make love in a dream surreal
We laid our truths
That night you came
Mad loving on your mind
Ground shook, billows blew
But you left all in good time
Dark compartment, where I hide my life away
Dark compartment, you keep me there to stay
I feel the passion in your kiss
Not to be denied
This peril too, joins the list,
Of all my fears inside
You take me out
And cut your love upon my heart
Then fold me up like a jack knife
Into your dark, dark, dark compartment
Where hide my life away, hide my life away
Dark compartment, you keep me there to stay
Dark compartment
(Guitar break)
(Bridge)
I hang my worries on the angels
To lead me home
I'll not cry upon my pillow
Not feel so alone
What is it you say?
Everything's okay?
You have no trouble with this all
You merely put me away
Into your dark compartment
Your heart of heart
Wants someone else
I too, try not to care
So, I come and go
And try to find my peace everywhere
Dark compartment, where I hide my life away
Where I hide my life away
