The Way That It Shows Richard Thompson Band

You're going to give yourself away
One of these nights
Your gaze of compassion
Just a little too right
Your hug of encouragement
A little too tight
And then he'll know
It's in the little things betrayed

You're going to give yourself away
To some Casanova
On the spills and stains
Of a backstage sofa
He'll catch you yawning with one leg over
And there's the sin
Must be the enemy within

That's the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows
That's the way that it shows
A slip of the tongue
A squeeze of the hand
That's the way that it shows
