Rufus Wainwright The One You Love song 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 is 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 fuck 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?
