My shoes are unpolished, my words come out smudged I came to you undressed, you leaned in close The lord in my ear said one thing That devil in my ear said another I bent my thoughts, tried to make them fit But something kept slipping between Idle silver, idle gold I hold it in my hands And it slips through anyway I can't speak without telling what I am I can't pretend you didn't take it all from me If you must be— Then don't be with me You thought you had a wife, you thought you had a heart I only ever wanted more More than the room you kept me in More than the name you gave me More than the air you left me Idle silver, idle gold I hold it in my hands And it slips through anyway I can't speak without telling what I am I can't pretend you didn't take it all from me If you must be— Then don't be with me Without a veil, no attempt to be pure Just the crack in your saintly face I was the ruin you never named And the fire you wouldn't look at I can't speak without telling what I am I can't pretend you didn't take it all from me If you must be— Then don't be with me Idle silver... idle gold... Don't be with me (Don't be...)
