Rufus Wainwright - The One You Love lyrics

The mind has so many pictures

Why can't I sleep with my eyes open

The mind has so many memories

Can you remember what it looks like when I cry

I'm Trying, trying to tell you

All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue

But no words ever could sell you

Sell you on me after all that I have done

I'm only the one you love

Am I only the one you love?

The Lady Gloom and her hornets circling round

Is now before us, the screaming's done without moving

One little move and for sure you will be stung

I'm singing "Oh, Jerusalem oh, Jerusalem

See what he's picked up in the park"

Let's f**k this awful art party

Want you to make love to me and only to me in the dark

I'm only the one you love

Am I only the one you love?

We've traded in our snap shots

We're going through the motions

Into the view, I'm leaving you

Down Conduit Avenue into the early morning

Into the early morning

The one I love

Are you only the one I love?
