elbow - What Am I Without You (Single Mix)

"What Am I Without You"

The universe keeps singing this song
Your eyes are diabolical blue
Ooh
I've been watching you walk on the water lately
My arms outstretched when you do

What am I

What am I on the earth for
If not to put you to bed
If not to remind you to eat sometimes
If
If not to cradle your head

What am I without you

The universe keeps singing its song
I can't get it out of my head
It skips right along like a stone on water
And I think I know how it ends

The last eyes I wanna see
Are yours
Are brown and diabolical blue
They never once cried without laughing, baby
So I'll line up a zinger for you

That's what I'll do
Ooh
What am I without you
Ooh
What am I without you
What am I without you
What am I
