Erasure - Storm in a Teacup Lyrics

Artist : Erasure
Title : STORM IN A TEACUP
ALBUM - LIGHT AT THE END OF THE WORLD

I'M JUST SAYING I WANT MY MUMMY BACK,
LOST HER TO THE DRINK BUT HER SOUL'S INTACT,
MAMA SAID TO ME BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE,
I SAW JESUS IN THE EYES OF A BROKEN MAN.

SAIL AWAY I AM LEARNING MY LESSON,
MAMA SENDS HER LOVE AND GODSPEED YOU COME HOME.

ONE LITTLE WHITE LIE, WAS ENOUGH TO CONCEAL MY GOODBYE,
THEN I STOLE AWAY KISSED HER FAREWELL,
AND WISHED HER THE BEST FOR LIFE,
THEN I STOLE AWAY, LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.

I'M JUST SAYING NOT BEHIND DADDY'S BACK,
HE TAKES CARE OF HER IN HIS OVERTIME,
HE'S NO SAINT I KNOW AS HE GOES AROUND THE TOWN,
WATCH HIM CRY HIMSELF TO SLEEP, HE'S MY DADDY.

SAIL AWAY, I WILL GO IT ALONE NOW,
LEAVE MY PAST BEHIND TO SEEK FORTUNE AND FAME.

ONE LITTLE WHITE LIE WAS ENOUGH TO CONCEAL MY GOODBYE,
THEN I STOLE AWAY KISSED HER FAREWELL,
AND WISHED HER THE BEST FOR LIFE
THEN I STOLE AWAY, LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.

SAIL AWAY, THERE'S A STORM IN A TEACUP,
MAMA SENDS HER LOVE AND GODSPEED YOU COME HOME.

ONE LITTLE WHITE LIE WAS ENOUGH TO CONCEAL MY GOODBYE,
THEN I STOLE AWAY KISSED HER FAREWELL,
AND WISHED HER THE BEST FOR LIFE,
THEN I STOLE AWAY WOAH LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
ONE LITTLE WHITE LIE WAS ENOUGH TO CONCEAL MY GOODBYE,
THEN I STOLE AWAY LIKE A PRODIGAL SON,
AND WISHED HER THE BEST FOR LIFE,
THEN I STOLE AWAY WOAH LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
