elvis costello
upon a veil of midnight blue [#]
Upon a veil of midnight blue  There hung a crescent moon  To light the view  But I don't whisper the words  When the moment arose  I wonder how he knows  You say your tongue is tied  Your words escape and hide  But he's so patient and kind  He's prepared to read your mind  That's very well till you find  Because of the wine you drank  Your mind is still a blank   I wonder how he knows  I guess I will wonder until  I pluck up the courage to tell him  How I feel  So close I can feel his heart tremble  That look in his eyes as they close  I wonder how he knows   I wonder how he knows
