Two is a silence [Demo]

Version with added bouzouki: 

Two isn’t company, three is a crowd
Two is a silence, three is too loud
Two is a silence gets harder to break
But three always leaves one left over

Three into two isn’t good for the head
It’s no problem in math, but it’s bad news in bed
It’s one for sorrow and two for joy
But three always leaves one left over

When we’re alone somehow he’s always there
You say it’s the same when you two are the pair
It’s one for the money and two for the show
But three always leaves one left over

All the shouting is over and dead
Somehow there’s nothing much else to be said
It’s one for an ace and two for a pair
But three always leaves one left over

Janey, tell me are you leaving?
Talk to me without disguise
Is it time I  turned to meet
The grey dawn rising in your eyes

Is the shadow in your sleepy eyes
The secret of your flight?
Will you leave me taking with you
The whispered secrets of the night?

When I wake some morning
Will I find myself alone?
Tell me now will tonight be the night
I’ll reach out and find you gone

Sermons in the dusty moonlight
Tell me that I should have known
I would wake some sad morning
To find my heart has turned to stone
