Madeleine Peyroux

I put on my gloves tonight, 
    pull onto the road to San Berdu
They remind me of hustlers, 
    confidence men, and you
My hands are warm beneath them, 
    and easy on the wheel
Without your Love And Treachery 
    the calm is all I feel

I shiver in the mirror, 
    pull my belt across my hips
The leather's hard in bending 
    as your fingers to my lips
I wrap it tightly in defense 
    as if your arms were near
But for your Love And Treachery 
    there's nothing left to fear

I'll take a glass of wine 
    and recall the words you spoke
From the bottom of your cup, 
    covered in spit and smoke
But in your voice I'll hear my own 
    and recognize the crime
That all your Love And Treachery 
    has ended up as mine

I see you in the rearview 
    with just a passing glance
How your eyes shine, 
    as if through mine, you'd see and understand
As if we'd played each other 
    but never knew the score
And all was Love And Treachery 
    but isn't anymore
