The Only Unforgivable Thing - Marillion

The only unforgivable thing

Hauls itself out of bed

Looks over my shoulder

At the Bloodyenglishweather

The only unforgivable thing

Waits for me in the corner of the room

Laughs as I clean my teeth

Laughs as I rub at my eyes

The only unforgivable thing

Is curled up in the wardrobe with my clothes

Sticks like chicken bones in my throat

Ruins the ritual Sunday lunchtimes

The only unforgivable thing

Watches itself with me

Every night on the tv

Follows me across the park

As I go out walking in the dark

Waits for me in the kitchen cupboards

The only unforgivable thing

The only unforgivable thing

We will close down

Hide in the corner of the

Lost and Found

For to live without the ground

Is so unsound

Gravity would only pull us down

Will no one help the boys

Who exist only as voices?

I have lost the stars and the sky

It was so that I could keep the earth

So now I’m found

Beyond the rocket-burst among the burned out fireworks

In November

The only unforgivable thing

Is comfortable in it’s own skin

Whispers «Why did you do this to me?»

'til it’s just about all

Just about all I can see

The only unforgivable thing

The only unforgivable thing

The only unforgivable thing

I did.

I did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

We did.
