[Verse 1]
When the sky was the color of cream
And you started leaving messages on my answering machine
Telling me that you were way across town
And would be home in a night or two
[Verse 2]
I started keeping track of my losses
There were only one or two I couldn't cover
And up there against the milk white sky I saw
Fleeting vestiges of you
[Chorus 1]
The way you vanished gradually
Has made a bitter man of me
And the way you vanished gradually
Has made a bitter man of me
[Verse 3]
Where the ocean cleaves the rocks real clean
I dropped my answering machine
I watched the waves chew it into tiny little pieces
Of seafoam hissing in the air
[Verse 4]
On the balance sheet I'd been keeping in my mind
I entered two hundred kroners to the left of the debit line
It was what the machine had cost me
It was a greater loss than I could bear
When the sky was the color of cream
And you started leaving messages on my answering machine
Telling me that you were way across town
And would be home in a night or two
[Verse 2]
I started keeping track of my losses
There were only one or two I couldn't cover
And up there against the milk white sky I saw
Fleeting vestiges of you
[Chorus 1]
The way you vanished gradually
Has made a bitter man of me
And the way you vanished gradually
Has made a bitter man of me
[Verse 3]
Where the ocean cleaves the rocks real clean
I dropped my answering machine
I watched the waves chew it into tiny little pieces
Of seafoam hissing in the air
[Verse 4]
On the balance sheet I'd been keeping in my mind
I entered two hundred kroners to the left of the debit line
It was what the machine had cost me
It was a greater loss than I could bear
