Taking My Life In Your Hands Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Taking My Life In Your Hands Lyrics

    My dear impulsive darling i suspect my letter got to you too late
    And it's really just a silly fragment of paper
    But it means so much to those who wait
    All the suffering days and nights 'til i dare dream again
    There you suddenly stand and i'll be damned if you
    Didn't disappear with the dawn

    Chorus:
    Hours pass and darkness comes
    Soon i will close my eyes
    Will you return if you don't reply
    You'll be taking my life in your hands
    You'll be taking my life in your hands
    Taking my life in your hands

    I don't know why my dearest darling
    I can't tell you how i feel when you are near
    When i see you have returned my letters unopened
    I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears
    But you're kidding yourself if you think this
    Correspondence will end
    I can always pretend words i don't have the courage to
    Send
    Reach you

    Repeat chorus
