Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »

Upon a veil of midnight blue 
There hung a crescent moon 
To light the view 
But I don't whisper the words 
When the moment arose 
I wonder how he knows 
You say your tongue is tied 
Your words escape and hide 
But he's so patient and kind 
He's prepared to read your mind 
That's very well till you find 
Because of the wine you drank 
Your mind is still a blank 

I wonder how he knows 
I guess I will wonder until 
I pluck up the courage to tell him 
How I feel 
So close I can feel his heart tremble 
That look in his eyes as they close 
I wonder how he knows 

I wonder how he knows
