lyrics

Light's song.
The birds, a throng of manic,
panic up the dawn...
"Take off your shoes inside"
a hallway beckons
and everything is fecund
and the carpet's torn.
I'd sworn
we'd meet and say "it's so good to see you".
Each worn out fate;
the sense of time and place,
was buried like a crime
but still every winter
we'll be on my mind.
Time...

Night's song.
The birds, a bomb of claret, carry up the sky...
"Take off your blues inside"
a stairway beckons
and everything...
"and hey, what do you reckon,
are they perfect thighs?"
I tried
and made mess that time left to deal with.
That hopeful bed;
the hope of us instead
no braver than a breeze
departed that winter
blew us to our knees.
Cry...

Brave, brave!
you pink and silly sausage coming out the sun...
"Drop off your news inside"
your friends will listen.
The wine begins to glisten
and there's food for five.
You'll find
your memories cannot lock the present.
Move fast, move on,
the past is just a song,
the guilt is but a line
you sing every winter,
frozen to your mind.
Sigh...
