Alabaster (Bert Jansch Studio Version)

[Verse 1]
Alabaster, are you coming around after?
We could light a candle, we could help it untangle
Won't you hold me, Alabaster 'cause I'm caught in a trap?
I'm alone, and the power's out, home and she's not around

[Pre-Chorus]
And we can fix it after
But the answer

[Chorus]
Is I know it's the wrong way to want you
But we're already here
And it's happening
The wounds are unfastening
It's a natural disaster
Alabaster

[Verse 2]
Round the corner, we can call from the car
I am losing my appetite, and I'm so tired
We're on a fault line, half this city's on fire
Maybe just one last time
Or maybe just one last time
Maybe just one last time

[Chorus]
I know it's the wrong way to want you
'Cause we're already here
And it's happening
The wounds are unfastening
It's a natural disaster
Alabaster

[Outro]
We can fix it after
It's a natural disaster
We can fix it after
Won't you hold me, Alabaster?
We can fix it after

[Instrumental Outro]
