They Suffocate At Night Lyrics

His body loved her, his mind was set on other things

 Keep your face out of sight and your thoughts to yourself

 And this went on for several nights festering in silence, growing in the dark

 And this they saw as love. 

 Love

 So sad to see

 They suffocate at night

 Oh this they saw as love 

 Love

 So sad to see to see it slowly die

 She met his wishes, he found that he had changed his mind

 Now the fit is too tight and the bedroom too warm

 The days are filled with things to do

 Night-time lies so hollow and memories betray

 Oh memories of love

 Love

 So sad to see

 They suffocate at night

 Those memories of love

 Love

 So sad to see to see it slowly die

 Two years have passed, two years of emptiness inside 

 And the grey skies above just show how far I went wrong

 I wonder if she's living there the way that I recall

 The way I'll always think of you

 And when I think of you I think of love

 Love

 So sad to see

 They suffocate at night

 You know I think of love 

 Love 

 So sad to see to see it slowly die

 I wrote you a letter

 I threw it away

 I wrote you a letter

 I threw it away

 I need her

 I know I don't need her

 I need her

 Oh Oh-oh... 

 Dadalala...
