my sweet louise,
please take me back
I've cut my hair short,
learned not to attack.
this house it creaks still,
and I fixed the floor
I find your books sometimes
but I don't read anymore
maybe when the feeling is getting old,
maybe when our love turns a darker shade of gold
then louise, oh you'll see
what've you've been doing to me
in this nocturne in blue and gold
my sweet louise,
the day is done.
we tossed the evening,
we spent the sun.
our fingers held
on fears and faults
I taste your words
they're still packed with salt
maybe when the feeling is getting old,
maybe when our love turns a darker shade of gold
then louise, oh you'll see
what've you've been doing to me
in this nocturne in blue and gold
