Elvis Costello - Nothing Clings Like Ivy (feat. Emmylou Harris) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Nothing clings like Ivy
  • Frightened by the dark
  • Though she cuts deep
  • It never leaves a mark
  • No one quite like Ivy
  • Ever gets it straight
  • What she believes
  • She won't negotiate
  • All the words of tenderness
  • That never quite got through
  • She said "You know how young girls are
  • From my contempt for you."
  • Outside in the hollow
  • She may dare herself
  • For there may be
  • A serpent in the grass
  • Nothing clings like Ivy
  • Trying to scare herself
  • And it may strike or
  • Wait for her to pass
  • All the words of tenderness
  • That she never possessed
  • "So what's the use of promises?
  • I had my fingers crossed."
  • All the words of tenderness
  • That never quite got through
  • She said, "I laughed behind your back
  • When I told them to you."
  • Nothing clings like Ivy
  • Frightened by the dark
  • Though she cuts deep
  • It never leaves a mark
