Elvis Costello Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue Lyrics

Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue Lyrics

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
