Elvis Costello & The Imposters
In Another Room (The Clarksdale Sessions)
[Verse 1]
In another room, just out of my sight
Words we used to say become so slight
Till they disappoint
And I know you won't return my kiss
Did I not love you quite like this?
In another room
[Verse 2]
In another room were I'm obliged to wait
Till I become the man you barely tolerate
And the blood will pour
And it makes me drunk at the temple door
Do I not love you anymore?
In another room
[Bridge]
In another room that I feel vacant
I can't get used to it just yet
In another room, you cryin' and shakin'
Cursing the very day we met
[Verse 3]
In another room, where we were before
Now you take your boy and you close the door
In another room, he's kissin' you so hard
The glass that's in his hand, it shatters into shards
Splinters ate his thumb
And the blood will run down in his cuff
Did I not love you quite enough?
In another room just out of my sight
In another room
Goodbye, goodnight
