The Everlasting Muse - Belle & Sebastian

[00:14]I want to find this girl I know
[00:18]I need to take her out
[00:21]I set a snare in evening air
[00:25]Made of faith and hope and doubt
[00:29]I want to spend some time with her
[00:32]Learn the secrets of her trade
[00:36]I wouldn't mean to cross the line
[00:40]And look into the other side
[00:43]Forbidden to my kind
[00:47]Forbidden to my kind
[00:58]I need to hang out with my love
[01:02]The raven-headed sprite
[01:05]I know I'll never dance like her
[01:09]Or keep her up at nine
[01:13]I need to hang around with her
[01:16]I need to let her know
[01:20]Her cause is mine
[01:22]I'm but a slave
[01:24]I look into her wondrous gaze
[01:27]And taste the strangest core
[01:31]And make the purest noise
[01:41]What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain
[01:49]I serve my window watching close, she will appear again
[01:54]Still polishing her crazy nail
[01:57]Still whispering curlies, drunk on song
[02:00]If I could only right my wrongs and take her to my favorite place
[02:05]And steal a melody
[02:08]'Cause I need only see her face
[02:12]A thousand worries fall away
[02:14]And music rushes in
[02:21]Listen to the sound of life
[02:25]Drink deep of the day
[02:29]Wait for her, but don't obsess
[02:32]She called beyond the way
[02:36]Winds will blow and stones will rage
[02:40]The music's always sad
[02:43]Money tends to disappear
[02:47]Beauty crumbles with the years
[02:51]But music is for us
[02:54]Music is for us
[03:40]What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain
[03:48]I serve my window watching close, she will appear again
[03:53]Still polishing her crazy nail
[03:56]Still whispering curlies, drunk on song
[04:00]If I could only right my wrongs and take her to my favorite place
[04:04]And steal a melody
[04:07]'Cause I need only see her face
[04:10]A thousand worries fall away
[04:13]And music rushes in
[04:18]If I could only see her face and know that she was close
[04:25]There is a deeper logic here, the everlasting muse
[04:31]I left the danger for a night
[04:34]I left the sadness for a day
[04:37]And know that I am in safe hands
[04:40]She'll peel the filth and old cigar
[04:42]An everlasting song
[04:45]She waves her money straight with zeal
[04:48]I know she'll start without delay
[04:51]A tapestry of words
[04:53]A subtle gift to modern rock
[04:56]She says, be popular, play pop
[04:59]And you will win my love
[05:02]A subtle gift to modern rock
[05:05]She says, be popular, play pop
[05:09]And you will win my love
