If I get my check this month
I'll buy him some shoes
A new umbrella only lightly used

Since the separation my love has been unused
Can we spend the night together?

I'll pick up the papers we need to sign
Bring 'em with some wine
You could drop him at a friend of mines

We could lie once more together
You were born forever
Capable of so much love

How can I love with grace
Living yet separated
How can I love with grace
Living yet separated

If I get my check this month
I'll buy him some shoes
And take apart my empty palace too

This is all that we made of our vow
A curtain and a bow
A mirage of permanence

How can I love
With grace
Living yet separated

We could lie once more together
You were born forever
Capable of so much love

We could lie once more apart
Naked in the dark
Capable at heart
