lyrics

I slept upon a concrete bed
The night he broke, the night I fled
For just an hour my eyes were closed
The bed I made was wrong
I walked beneath the setting sun
I hid my smile, this time I’d won
The thought of him had left my back
And he was gone for good

A new day came with a dark sky
I began to mourn with tears so dry
Then you arrived behind a shade
That made me think of lust
The night you held my hand I tried
To be a man, no faults to hide
Away we walked behind a church
We kissed with nervous breath

No-one ever wants to say goodbye…

I waited for your voice to sound
I walked in circles, circle-bound
But nothing came, no single word
I need a place to stay
The silence made me misbehave
Another boy made me his slave
His kisses tasted of watered rum
I gave myself for free

A week we spent beneath the sheets
A week of heavy, pure release
But then somehow he made me chase
Now I’m a stupid fool
And face towards the wall I weep
It seems I’m used, now I can’t sleep
And where are you, where did you go?
In silence I am waiting

No-one ever wants to say goodbye

I’ve no idea who you may be
The face of my mortality
And I’m not leaving till you’re here
You are my perfect storm…
