Evidence Songtext
von Simon Nicol

Saturday night, lights are all lit up
There′s a bottle of wine beside an overfilled paper cup
The cigarette she left lit is all burned up
But the heat from where she lay is not

Like smoke from factories
We leave our heat behind
Like run-down batteries
Hearts stop sometimes

And between these sheets her perfume lingers on
But in a couple of weeks all the evidence will be gone
Like a dust-free patch where a magazine lay
A girl leaves a gap when she goes
But someone else fills it up some day

Like smoke from factories
We leave our heat behind
Like run-down batteries
Hearts stop sometimes


She took away the daydream
Leaving nothing but daylight
She took away almost everything
But if you look you'll find

Evidence she left behind
A blue bar of soap left on the sink
And lipstick ′round the last glass she used to drink from
And those burned-up books of matches that she kept
And the heat in the mattress where she slept

Like smoke from factories
We leave our heat behind
Like run-down batteries
Hearts stop sometimes

Hearts stop sometimes
Evidence she left behind
Evidence she left behind
Evidence she left behind
Evidence she left behind
