It’s an elusive thing 
This love of which we sing 
What are we doing, 
What are we doing? 

And I will give you anything, 
Just please don’t stop singing, 
The world would stop spinning… 
arooooouunnd 

You’re such a lovely thing 
But there is ice forming 
Upon your pretty wings 
What are you protecting? 

And I will give you everything, 
And you can wear this ring, 
But you only love me, 
you only love me when I’m leaving, 
you only love me ‘cause I’m leaving, 
you only love me when I’m leaving, 
you only love me ‘cause I’m leaving tonight 

you’ve such a lovely thing, 
but there is ice for me, 
upon your pretty wings, 
why are you lying? 

And I will give you everything 
Just please don’t stop singing, 
The world would stop spinning 
aroooouuund 

It’s an elusive thing, 
This love of which we sing, 
What are we doing? 
What are we doing here? 

And I will give you anything, 
And you can wear my ring, 
But you only love me, 
You only love me when I’m leaving, 
You only love me ‘cause I’m leaving, 
You only love me ‘cause I’m leaving, 
You only love me when I’m leaving.
