Mathilde Santing Only A Motion
Sweet without the sugar’s edge
he talked so happily
four drinks separated
my behaviour and me
when he slipped the final blow
I fell into the impact
We were only a motion
though tenderly played
it’s easier now for him
no attempt was even made
he loves you now
Tales slipped out his memory
and easy through his mouth
guess that just his way of
smoothing these things out
Finally we spared each other
the labour of regret
‘cause that’s too hard
We were only a motion
though tenderly played
it’s easier now for him
no attempt was even made
he loves you now
guess I’ll just remember
his hands clean of jewelery
we always had respect
I’d be stupid to turn it into sympathy
one day when he took his life jacket off
I always thought he’d offer it to me
I can’t help myself
We were only a motion
though tenderly played
it’s easier now for him
no attempt was even made
he loves you now
