RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics : "The Way That It Shows"

You're going to give yourself away, one of these nights
Your gaze of compassion, just a little too right
Your hug of encouragement's a little too tight

And then he'll know. It's the little things betray

Going to give yourself away, to some Casanova

On the spills and stains of the backstage sofa
He'll catch you yawning with one leg over
And there's the sin. Must be the enemy within


And that's the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows

That's the way that it shows
The way that it shows
That's the way that it shows

That's the way that it shows
A slip of the tongue, a squeeze of the hand
The way that it shows


There's glycerine in the tear, rouge in the blush
You're artful stammer a little too rushed

All passion to the eye, all cold to the touch
And then he'll guess. Your mind has drifted in the kiss


There's a chink in your armour, a crack in your defenses
Your iron will gives way to your senses
Your whispered sweet nothings all sound like expenses

And that's enough. He won't believe your words of love

And that's the way that it shows

That's the way that it shows
Yes that's the way that it shows
The way that it shows

That's the way that it shows
That's the, that's the way that it shows
A slip of the tongue, a squeeze of the hand

That's the way that it shows
