The Evening Of Her Day (Duet Version)
(Stephen Duffy)
(Sung by Diane
Tell)

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.
