Telltale Signs

My heart almost jumped out of my chest Late last night when I heard you call It got me all bothered and upset The house I'd built up about to fall Your words always felt sharp as a knife They turned me pale white as a ghost I always thought we were on the same plane Now I can see that I'm stuck in coach Since we have been together I can sleep alright (sleep alright) No more clinging on to the day with a dread of night And since we have been together I feel like a man (like a man) Well I'm gonna hold on to you just as long as I can Until you just can't stand it... Or just can't stand Your body once felt warm to the touch How could it suddenly turn so cold You used to lie there in my arms Now it appears that you simply fold I promised you that I could change I won't keep you walled behind closed doors I promise we'll never fight again Never darling, nevermore Since we have been together I can sleep alright (sleep alright) No more clinging on to the day with a dread of night And since we have been together I feel like a man (like a man) Well I'm gonna hold on to you just as long as I can Until you just can't stand it... Or just can't stand Our marriage bed wasn't built from an olive tree (olive tree) Our love may have turned as cold as the iron on which we sleep But I swear to you my fair Penelope (Penelope) I just can't wait to return from this long, long, long odyssey Our marriage bed wasn't forged from an olive tree (olive tree) Our love may have turned as cold as the iron on which we sleep But I swear to you my fair Penelope (Penelope) You're gonna rue the day that you ever left me Since we have been together I can sleep alright (sleep alright) No more clinging on to the day with a dread of night And since we have been together I feel like a man (like a man) Well I'm gonna hold on to you just as long as I can Until you just can't stand it... Or just can't stand
