There‘s A Story In Your Voice

　　There's A Story In Your Voice - Elvis Costello

　　Once upon another time

　　If you had the need

　　I'd step right in the shoes that you've been walking

　　'Cos someone put the hurt in you

　　For every one to see

　　And you only have to speak to tell your fortune

　　There's a story in your voice

　　Both by damage and by choice

　　It tells of promises and pleasure

　　And a tale of wine and woe

　　The uneasy time to come

　　And the long way 'round we go to get there

　　Once you told me fairytales

　　Everybody knows

　　But I didn't care for their prediction

　　Now you say you're leaving me

　　And packing up your clothes

　　I finally see you were a work of fiction

　　There's a story in your walk

　　Then you crumble just like chalk

　　And I could say that I was sorry

　　But I wouldn't mean it much

　　There are pages I can't touch

　　And something that's been torn out of this chapter

　　Far away not far enough

　　'Cos I can still recall

　　How it felt when I read that last sentence

　　Now I go inside some rooms with Gideon in them all

　　And hide myself from all hope of repentance

　　There's a story in your eyes

　　Cheap sunglasses might disguise

　　But when the bedroom light reveals

　　All that bravado and that fright

　　That you cover up in spite

　　Attempts to strip away this fabrication

　　There's a story in your voice

　　Both by damage and by choice

　　It tells of promises and pleasure

　　And a tale of wine and woe

　　The uneasy time to come

　　And the long way 'round we go to get there
