In The Evening Of Her Day (Duet Version)

(Stephen Duffy)

(Sung by Diane Tell)

Sung by Stephen Duffy

Sung by both

(Getting high every night)

(‘Til I couldn't see the sunshine in the light.)

(Start again,)

(Draw some fire,)

(Defy the built in obsolescence of desire)

(When love's the only thing it hurts to lose.)

In the evening of her day

Ophelia comes to court me,

Not that I could stay away

Her kisses seem to haunt me.

It's an accident of birth

That had me born a loser,

Hanging like a bird of prey

But fated not to capture

Her tender touch.

Sleepless nights I walk the streets,

It was kind of like a movie but not as deep as

What might've been and what will be

Embraced each other in conspiracy.

The night drum always plays a requiem.

In the evening of her day

Ophelia comes to court me.

Not that I could stay away,

Her kisses seem to haunt me.

It's an accident of birth

That had me born a loser,

Hanging like a bird of prey,

But fated not to capture

Her tender touch.

I fell so high from the ferris wheel

And all the fairground lights

Were flickering sweet delights.

So so tell me why is it bad I feel

I tripped stumbled slipped and fell

Left drowning in the wishing well.

In the evening of her day

Ophelia comes to court me,

Not that I could stay away,

Her kisses seem to haunt me.

It's an accident of birth

That had me born a loser,

Hanging like a bird of prey,

But fated not to capture

Her tender touch

That I need so much.
