When You Were Someone Else's Wife

from Anne Marie, Ghost of the Sea by monkeyheaven

/

lyrics

I don't understand the meaning
Of the indiscreet thoughts and indelicate feelings I get
When you pirouette
And though I've never

Met such a group
Of talentless people in one sorry troupe
I'm a brute
Who kinda thinks it's cute
To pick forbidden fruit

I've never in my life
Considered you for my wife
I've only ever seen
Those pictures of you on the men you tattoo
In vermillion and aquamarine

And yet I'll regret
The lack of the colour I only could get
In my life
(Indiscipline was rife)
When you were someone else's wife

Ever on his arm
Though sometimes you'd slip from it only to charm
The wolves out from the trees
But only as far as the faraway bar
Where you always went weak at the knees

And oh have you heard
Of something so foolish grotesque and absurd
Yet it's true
Through all the red and blue
I think I fell in love with you

Yes it's true
Though this is not your sole virtue
...
Well I guess I fell in love with you
