lyrics

Storms are waiting
Like they always done
Sun is shining on the beach
Out of sight of land
This slight of many hands
You’ll be waiting
There for me
Take your time
Take the lonely path
Winding slowly
To the sea

Growing up
Say you’re giving in
You’re getting straight
And then you’re getting straight again
You turn up for work
Nearly each and every single day
Saying yes
In nearly every single way
Take your time
Walk a mile
In shiny shoes
They say you just can’t lose
But you hid it all away

You were like some wild dog
In a field of lambs and lovers
Shot right through with anger
As the stars slip to the sea
You were just some crazy fool
I couldn’t help but love yer
Said you’d steal the whole damn world
And give it all to me

Pale horses
Drive by lovers
All these little broken pieces of your
Old Kintsugi heart
We talk of many things
Should poets dance or poets sing
In a cafe where the travellers meet
To take this big old world apart
Take your time, say what you want to say
I’ll just watch the people
Gonna make this moment last

You were like some wild dog
In a field of lambs and lovers
Shot right through with anger
As the stars slip to the sea
You were just some crazy fool
I couldn’t help but love yer
Said you’d steal the whole damn world
And give it all to me
