Shall We Sing a Duet? - Stephin Merritt

Say, shall we sing a duet?

Say it’s not over yet

Say it’s not just the wine

Say you’ll always be mine

Say that’s not just a line

Shall we sing a duet?

Say you’ll always be mine

Say that’s not just a line

Shall we sing a duet?

Take all my sorrow away

Bring me tomorrow today

Teach me to borrow this clay from time

To take all my sorrows away

Bring me tomorrow today

Say you’ll always be mine

Say it’s not over yet

I’ve been waiting

Shall we sing a duet?

And intertwine, like ivy

Twisting and tangled?

Shall we sing a duet?

I’ve been waiting all of my life

Say it’s not just a line

Shall we sing a duet?

I can’t wait to make you my wife

And intertwine like ivy

Twisting and tangled

Say it’s not over yet

I’ve been waiting all of my life

Any attempt at harmony

Hopelessly mangled

Take all my sorrow away

Bring me tomorrow today

Teach me to borrow this clay from time

To take all my sorrows away

Bring me tomorrow today

Say you’ll always be mine

Say it’s not over yet

I’ve been waiting

Shall we sing a duet?

And intertwine, like ivy

Twisting and tangled?

Shall we sing a duet?

I’ve been waiting all of my life

Say it’s not just a line

Shall we sing a duet?

And, intertwine like ivy

Twisting and tangled

Shall we sing a duet?

Take all my sorrow away

And interwtine, like ivy

Twisitng and tangled

Teach me to take all my sorrow away

Shall we sing a duet?
