about

(a song about sadness)

lyrics

The darkness doesn't go away
But it changes shape
The patterns on an old front porch or a garden gate
The shadows thrown by candlelight on the fire escape
The darkness doesn't go away

Now is it any wonder how you've got this pull
So tragically, at least to me, irresistible
Despite all my best efforts to the contrary
You always seem to have your hooks deep into me

And I was lying down
Just to rest my eyes before the night shift
With the creaking of the ceiling up above
Always hoping for a panacea
Hoping for your love

The neighbourhood it changes as it stays the same
A hundred years of give and take and water mains
And I wonder if I ever even left at all
If only I was that damn indestructible

And I was lying down
Just to rest my eyes before the night shift
With the creaking of the ceiling up above
