Blemish
A Fire In The Forest
There is always sunshine
Above the grey sky
I will try to find it
Yes, I will try
My mind has been wandering
I hardly noticed
It's running on its own steam
I let it go
Oh here comes my childhood
A penny for your secrets
It's standing in the window
Not out here where it belongs
There's a fire in the forest
It's taking down some trees
When things are overwhelming
I let them be
I would like to see you
It's lovely to see you
Come and take me somewhere
Come take me out
There is always sunshine
Far above the grey sky
I know that I will find it
Yes, I will try
I fall outside of her
She doesn't notice
I fall outside of her
She doesn't notice at all
And mine is an empty bed
I think she's forgotten
And mine is an empty bed
She's forgotten I know
Put the brakes on
Put the brakes on
'Cos I'm fading fast
Can't find the link
Between me and her
He who was first's coming in last
I fall outside of her
And the trouble is there's no telling
Just who's right or who's wrong
Don't tell me that love is all there is
I know don't I ?
Don't crowd me pappy
Got too much to think about
The game's not lost
If I say it's not
And it's not
Give me one more chance to do things right
Don't crowd me pappy
Got too much to think about
There's no talking to her
Talking to her
I'll keep my thoughts to myself
Unless I'm asked
Like blemishes upon the skin
Truth sets in
Life's for the taking so they say
Take it away
I fall outside of her
She doesn't notice
She doesn't notice at all
And mine is an empty bed
I think she's forgotten
All is bloated and far from truth
Let's secure that reputation
Place the dummy upon the roof
Stitch him a tongue
Give him proof
Don't tell him love is all there is
I know, I know
Just pull the wool down over his eyes
One more time
Her heart's a foreign place
I visited for a while
And although I try to please her
She came at night and stole my visa
Come away now, run away now little man
You'll not make sense of it
Try as you might to understand
Like blemishes upon the skin
Truth sets in
She was, she was
A friend of mine
Do us a favour, your one and only warning
Please be gone by morning
She was, she was
A friend of mine
Inconsistencies
Words on paper
The track still warm
I came to hate her
Smitten no longer
Me, the only daughter
Render the vow
It's my home now
This, your one and only warning
Please be gone by morning
And if the ending is clean
The quirk, the fuss, the vaseline
She won't even see it coming
Roll them over, roll them over, roll them over
Me, the only daughter
She was, she was a friend of mine
Smitten no longer
Me, the only daughter
Render the vow
It's my home now
The penny's dropped
The room's in order
I masked the spot
Me, the only daughter
Do us a favour, your one and only warning
Please be gone by morning.
