Pick and Choose

Didn't wave him off
never sent a parting gift
wouldn't speak at the funeral
I let years pass
without saying a thing
Sometimes it feels like it was the wrong thing
to do with you
cos you just pick and choose
The moon crashed into the whiskey water
so we cracked open the moon
the moon dropped into the whiskey water
so we demolished the moon

White Noise

I'll be extinct when you get home
so take your time
we were in a rush once
didn't suit my state of mind
now I take my time
It's hardly worth getting up these days
yeah it's hardly worth the getting up
hasn't always been that way
I detune myself
white noise
pick a grave

Further Away

Every morning of every day
the hours drag
us down and further away
in the shadows of the trees planted in rows
I study your behaviour and realise how little about you I know
Every missed opportunity
I dwell on
feels like a knife through my chest
In the back of a black Cadillac
out of place and too far gone to turn back
those hours that dragged
have been flattened and stretched out like dough
I thought a door was supposed to open for every one that closed?
I want to soar like a bird of prey
and not just lie here
and drift further away
from you

Hold my shaking hands you'd say
we've got a lot more ground to cover
in just a few days
cos the sun won't be up for many more hours
and I know you've always got the strength to carry on
but I was never the man to give you power
No I was never the man
I never was
Reflecting on these points we just dwell
from the Hudson Bay to the Bay of Biscay
from Bristol Parkway to Tripoli in May
I tried to make my love for you
fly like a crow
but it sank
like a stone
That flattened the corn in the field by the road to the ocean
