The Duchess And The Duke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moon is my light of love
In the night, I am quite a romancer
I find an answer above
To being me consolation, you're my inspiration
This is my imagination.
Time on my hands, you in my arms
Once and for all, I'll see my dreams come true
Moments to spare for someone you care for
Our love affair for two
With time on my hands and you in my arms
And love in my heart all for you.

When the day fades away into twilight
As the day disappears and turns to dusk
The moon is my light of love
I associate the moon with love
In the night, I am quite a romancer
At night, I am a romantic person
I find an answer above
I find comfort from above
To being me consolation, you're my inspiration
You are my source of comfort and inspiration
This is my imagination.
These thoughts are a product of my own imagination
Time on my hands, you in my arms
I have time to spend, and I'm holding you
Nothing but love in view, then you fall
All I see is love, as you fall for me
Once and for all, I'll see my dreams come true
Finally, my dreams will come true
Moments to spare for someone you care for
I have time to spend with someone I care for
Our love affair for two
A romantic relationship between just the two of us
With time on my hands and you in my arms
I have time and you to hold me
And love in my heart all for you.
All the love in my heart is for you

Sun comes up
I'm counting the days I've got left
I'm counting the time on my hands, watch the days roll by
When I'm gone
Who will be waiting for me to come home?
Who waits for a ghost to come in from the cold, just to haunt you?
Sometimes girl I'm already gone, I've been ready so long
In your heart there's a different man, and I just ain't that strong
I can't win
I can't lose
And everything I do is wrong
One hand clawing at the other hand, trying to hold on
Sun goes down
If I stay too long then I'll just fade away
And if you were smart you would just walk away, don't you cry
When I'm gone
I know for certain the birds will still sing
And I know the clouds will still cry like a child, on my shadow
Sometimes girl I'm already gone, I've been ready so long
In your heart there's a different man, and I just ain't that strong
I can't win
I can't lose
And everything I do is wrong
One hand clawing at the other hand, trying to hold on

1:22 nice guitars! I found out about this band from hearing "Living This Life Makes It Hard" in Orange is the New Black (Season 1 Episode 11)
Josue Garcia
I just literally finished watching that episode. My 1 year old daughter began dancing when she heard that song so I had to check them out.
