"Cold Tea Blues" -- From "Pale Sun, Crescent Moon" (Cowboy Junkies, 1993 - vocals by Margo Timmins).
If I pour your cup
this is friendship
If I add your milk
that is manners
If I stop there,
claiming ignorance of taste,
that is tea
But if I measure the sugar
to satisfy your expectant tongue,
then that is love,
sitting untouched and growing cold
----------
"Your House" -- From Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill" (1995). This is a hidden (unlisted/untitled) track at the end.
I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
I opened your door
without ringing the bell
I walked down the hall
Into your room
where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here
Without permission
Shouldn't be here...
Would you forgive me love
if I danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me love
if I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me love
if I stay all afternoon?
I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
Went through your drawers
And I found your cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CDs
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay long
You might be home soon
Shouldn't stay long...
Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me love
if I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me love
if I stay all afternoon?
I burned your incense
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter
That sat on your desk
It said, "Hello love,
I love you so love,
Meet me at midnight."
And no, it wasn't my writing
I'd better go soon
It wasn't my writing
So, forgive me love
if I cry in your shower
So, forgive me love
for the salt in your bed
So, forgive me love
if I cry all afternoon
