The Double Cross - Mary Coughlan

I wake up in the morning

I get out of bed and drag my makeup on

I walk out on the street, my every exit’s covered

I hitch up my pants and I fake it just like a man

Every hold that I had on time

Every dream that I thought was mine

Well, it’s all quite forgotten now

Lost without the double cross of you

Like my coffee I’ve grown cold

I stay behind and fade into the wall

I’m lost amongst the jostling crowds at lunchtime

I’m hoping you’ll come but I know that you won’t even call

Every hold that I had on time

Every dream that I thought was mine

Well, it’s all quite forgotten now

Lost without the double cross of you

Every hold that I had on time

Every dream that I thought was mine

Well, it’s all quite forgotten now

Lost without the double cross of you

My social smile comes out again

My glass in hand, I’ve a word for one and all

Ah, but deep inside I’m crying just like a baby

I’m all grown up but I never learned how to crawl

Every hold that I had on time

Every dream that I thought was mine

Well, it’s all quite forgotten now

Lost without the double cross of you

Every hold that I had on time

Every dream that I thought was mine

Well, it’s all quite forgotten now

Lost without the double cross of you

Every hold that I had on time

(Every hold that I had on time)

Every dream that I thought was mine

(Every dream that I thought was mine)

Well, it’s all quite forgotten now
