lyrics

Everything seems different now:
Light goes out as fast as it came,
Suffolk St seems sad in the rain,
And everything has changed somehow,
A weary nod of resignation,
I’ve got you and palpitations.

Wasting
All this time,
Feeling
You were mine,
Darling,
You know I couldn’t go back if I tried,

And everyone’s wisdom abounds,
If the straitjacket fits…
Alright, you’ve got bigger things on your mind,
Watch the night as it comes down,
I hear sirens singing sweetly,
Why’d you have to go and leave me?

Every second
My mind becomes less fecund,
Aching, slowing,
The last of this is flowing,
Wasteful relief,
The happenings were all too brief,
Ever grateful,
The silence was so hateful.
