Room at the Top
(wener)

someone made her world disappear
took it piece by piece
and made her breathe under water
so like her feet
by her shoulders all day
keep her out of reach
and indistinct as you call her
you don't speak
but your love and your clear hideaway
'cos the noise you make
is all that she can hear

falling asleep with lights left on
and the room at the top was by itself again
waking the night up just to switch them off
and the baby's a placed to the distant friend
on a measure some time and turn it off again
down in the box sing softly to himself

someone made her world disappear
took it piece by piece
and made her breathe under water
