A Murder of One

Blue morning, blue morning Wrapped in strands of fist and bone Curiosity, kitten, doesn't have to mean you're on your own You can look outside your window He doesn't have to know We can talk a while baby We can take it nice and slow All your life is such a shame, shame, shame All your love is just a dream, dream, dream Well, are you happy where you're sleeping? Does he keep you safe and warm? Does he tell you when you're sorry? Does he tell you when you're wrong?
