lyrics
I pull up at home, autumn afternoon
a strange car in the drive. I’m early, dear
the purse in the hall surely isn’t yours
I silently sink in a chair as your footsteps hit the stairs
I’m waiting for the film to play out
I can’t leave under a shadow of doubt
when your mother asked I said it was a phase
from the dark you call just to ask me how I've been
on the cobblestones you're just a pair of girls
as you hold her hand I wanna see how hard you squeeze
I’m waiting for the film to play out
I can’t leave under a shadow of doubt
The credits roll
I’ve got no control
How can I believe this turn?
I’m waiting for the film to play out
I can’t leave under a shadow of doubt
