lyrics

In liberty, we roam into the rolling fields and fall
We’re small and fragile
We cause alarm
But we’ll die standing up
Our schoolbooks muddled with great tragedy
Forgotten figures lost
A fortnight later, you will see what our tuition really cost

In trying times, we fly together
Though we’re dropping two by two
We’re drowning happily in picture books
Foamed waves to get us through
We’ll fling ourselves down to the foaming Scarborough seaside
Just to cry
A plaque, a grave hangs in your place
I stop
My love, my love
Goodbye

In bright eyes and paintbrushes
In white dress and cold feet
In you, I might survive
In you, I might just be

And though our days are numbered
And all our songs will live on
In abstract reverie
I will take you along with me

In vibrant sunless autumns
In soaked trees and endless streets
I'll exist on a little smile
Trying not to get dirty

And there you sit with your hands ivy tight
Pen glued on your blanched paper
Cleaning prose in your swept up mind
Engravings never fuss or bite

Oh darling, your soul has abstracted
In pieces and I can't regret but
Must you intrude upon my sleep
Through closed lids shut on secrets that weep?
I would offer my every dream if I had tomorrow in me

Oh darling, your soul has abstracted
In pieces and I can't regret but
Must you intrude upon my sleep
Through closed lids shut on secrets that weep?
I would offer my every dream if I had tomorrow in me

Tomorrow in me
