lyrics

As the wave breaks on your arm
Or you wake to the alarm
You are outstripped
By a guilt that has convinced you that
Everyone you’ve every loved you’ve harmed

Curtains twitching morning light
Snow collected overnight
You almost leap
From a sleep that had you paralysed
While someone stole our children in the night

With your hairband
Wrapped around my wrist
I try to focus on this

In the tin behind the tree
Where you plant their baby tree
It seems so strange
That these acts should mean much more to you
Than anything you’re ever seen to do

And the ghosts you choose to hide
Fly around our room at night
You close your eyes
And they pull on every part of you  Until the wave breaks in a wash
Of grey-blue light

With your hairband
Wrapped around my wrist
I try to focus on this
