A Night Like This

Little did I know when I was digging his grave

I was also digging my own

He had these piercing blue eyes

Pierce you right down to the bone

She took out a pen and paper

And the words took on a life of their own

And that's the problem right there

They took on a life of their own

I knew it would come to this

And now it has and I'm so sad

My life before was heaven and bliss

Mary Shelley and a night like this

He had these piercing blue eyes

Pierce you right down to the bone

He had these piercing blue eyes

As he broke bone after bone after bone after bone

Why, I often wondered what would happen

If you took his heart as good and just gave it one little push

Take it to the limit, take it as far as you can

And just give it one little push

I knew it would come to this

And now it has and I'm so sad

My life before was heaven and bliss

Mary Shelley and a night like this

Well, she was out to rearrange things

But she took it a little bit too far, I guess

But she had the best of intentions

I mean, she meant well

But sometimes good people do bad things

Sometimes they just can't help it

Sometimes it's beyond their control

But at least she meant well

I knew it would come to this

And now it has and I'm so sad

My life before was heaven and bliss

Mary Shelley and a night like this
