Fait Accompli
--words and music by Michael Stanley

I haven't seen you round for ages
Or been waylaid by your scent
Maybe I was only dreaming
A dream that came and went

But when the moon refused to find you
Then I knew that you were gone
And I feel the memories linger
Like the slow fade of a song ...

	If I could hold you tonight
	Well I won't worry 'bout tomorrow
	And for the chance that I might
	Well I would beg, steal or borrow
	And when nothing seems certain
	I know that one thing will be
	You and me
	Were a fait accompli ...

Sometmes there's nothing to do
You can't hold on to what you can't find
And there's nothing that's new 
Just the silence that you left behind

Maybe it's been all one sided
And I'm just the last to know
But some things you hold forever 
And just can't let 'em go ...

	If I could hold you tonight
	Well I won't worry 'bout tomorrow
	And for the chance that I might
	Well I would beg, steal or borrow
	And when nothing seems certain
	I know that one thing will be
	You and me
	Were a fait accompli ...

	You and me
	Were a fait accompli ...
