I ought to leave enough hot water   For your morning bath, but I'd not thought   I hate to hear you talk that way   But I can't bring myself to say I'm sorry      The past is always knocking incessant   Trying to break through into the present   We have to work to keep it out   But I won't be the first to shout it's over      I used to want to plant bombs at the last night of the proms   But now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom   With that big shell, listening for the sound of the sea      I steal a kiss from you in the supermarket   I walk you down the aisle, you fill my basket   And through it all, the stick I take   Is worth it for the love we make      I used to want to plant bombs at the last night of the proms   But now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom   With that big shell, listening for the sound of the sea   The baby and me      I stayed in bed, alone, uncertain   Then I met you, you drew the curtain   The sun came up, the trees began to sing   The light shone in on everything, I love you      The sun came up, the trees began to sing   The light shone in on everything, I love you
