UNEXPECTED
 
1.
You have found on the way an unexpected lover,
and she's more like a sliver than a dream,
and the more it hurts, the more you look for words
that will tell this creature what you mean.
 
2.
I have gone down this way. I know it isn't easy.
When you get to the floor it breaks your heart;
but you have no choice once you're sick of your own voice,
and the unexpected lover plays her part.
 
Chorus.
She's got a room down the hall.
You hadn't noticed her at all.
Soon you're trying to place
just where you saw that face,
that echo of a whisper from the wall.
 
3.
She is hollow in the voice and cold in her devotion.
You know not to ask her where she's from.
In the cellar of the night, she is your only light,
and she fades into day when daylight comes.
