I could feel you creeping in
Through the door I left ajar
Never could get very far
The distraction of you
Night after night
I can't read the words I write
Leaves without a tree
Scatter before me
The distraction of you

[Chorus]
You are always in my mind
Lost my balance once or twice
But falling sets me free
Beneath a sign that reads 'no vacancy'
We'll devour the air between us as we breathe
And when the dawn
Has come
To cover us in blindness
We'll close our eyes and see/dream/sleep

And you move
Like a gypsy in the flame
In the darkness I'll remain
The distraction of you
And I can't tell
All the secrets that you sell
In the garden of your sleep
In the distance that we keep
In the distraction of you

[Chorus]

I could call the wind to find your name
But it's all in vain
I could wring the light out from the day
But it's all in vain
I could try to find my way
But it's all in vain, it is all in vain

I won't let go
Of the way that you took hold
You buried in me like a tomb
I'm alone here in this room
With the distraction of you
