What an Inconvenience

With all the eyes at last diverted
We slipped outside before they heard us
And at the time your hand touched mine
We threw a rope across a great divide
Such a thing as a hardy fool
You'll go as far as the ocean pool
You speak of dog and daughter
I put the roses in fresh water

Brush away the dust
What an inconvenience is lust
A safety in what cannot be
There is freedom in captivity
Enjoy the sound of every word
It can be true it can be blurred
When I closed the door behind me

Every creak and every turned key
Was amplified in it was not
You coming with a midnight knock
Brush away the dust
What an inconvenience is lust
After a time you learned your worth
Perhaps it is my role on earth
A fairy for your matrimony
If only the job weren't quite so lonely
I feel the guilt, I feel the friction
I hope it's not a life long affliction
Death by a thousand cuts
This nasty business we call love

Brush away the dust
What an inconvenience is lust
Brush away the dust
What an inconvenience is lust
