through the window appears the dawn
car parked up next to the front lawn
room for three or four
if you count the boot as one more
and jettison the heaviest of thoughts
before the day starts blinking
into a service stop forecourt
before the swings are swinging
call the signal box like it asked to
operator says a train is due
400 tonnes of iron and steel cleave through
didn't think i'd be here quite so soon
and i've no idea what to do
before i start fermenting
all the times i felt confused
before i start resenting you
your indeterminate place
and all the things
you did and didn't say
beyond the tracks the woods in sight
lightning is tracing the treeline
just like that night we rode our bikes
the air was cool the thunder strikes
and now we're here and now it's time
before the rain starts falling
before your mum starts calling
just as the doubts start forming

your mind might be swaying
to a waltz you don't know
i take what you give me
it comforts my soul
light on your creases
joy in your folds
each line a postcard
with the memories they hold
and i'm giving this to you
20 years from now
a song in a shoebox i've buried in the ground
people dig it up
misunderstand what i mean
well i want to tell you who he is and has been
he would panic and stutter
worry until dawn
but people don't think about him
half as much as he thought
there's a girl that he's seeing
who believes what he believes
and he says i hope
what i see in her she sees in me
and i'm giving this to you
20 years from now
a song in a shoebox i've buried in the ground
people dig it up
misunderstand what i mean
well i want to tell you who he is and has been
well i want to tell you who he is and has been
well i want to tell you who he is and has been

Here I'll Always Be

it's 10 minutes past the time you
asked to meet me by
you're always running late cos
i never seem to mind
i never seem to mind
the things they say are untrue
who are they to criticise
what might look to be rude
is just a worried mind
is just a worried mind
i know it's not that charming
or comforting a remedy
but when nobody else can get you
here i'll always be
you'll believe what people tell you
no matter what i say
if only some of them knew
all the gifts you send my way
i never could repay
i know you don't need to hear this
you're stronger than i could be
but whether or not you need it
here i'll always be
here i'll always be
sure it's not that simple
to find a better way to feel
but when no-one else can get you
you can always talk to me

the winds are cool are humming
along the air we share and breathe
with a mind entwined in something
things aren't what they seem to be
for all of this time i've spent thinking
has left my hands lineless and smooth
and i'm frozen save for blinking yet
forward i am bound to move
over the hilltop i will go
say the words to stop your heart
find a town where i won't fall apart
and hope to hell i know it when i'm there
going away to who knows where
when the winds have ceased from blowing
when my hair fall silent and still
no matter how hard i wish it
to be doesn't mean it will
you hate all that's scheduled to perish
like a flower destined to wilt
but there's beauty in having to cherish
our time that will last until
over the hilltop i must go
say the words to stop your heart
find a town where i won't fall apart
and hope to hell i know it when i'm there
going away to who knows where

got myself into this tailspin
try to claim control
and drive into it
but words will fall out just to fall back in
you won't talk about it
and i'll be left to think
should we fall out just to fall back in
put your arm around me
let the tail spin
after all this time
no matter how i press the bell won't chime
in cool water i swam and wondered why i can't
make possible feelings you'll not dare to try
to understand
i've gotta question gotta rationalise
feeling in control
but sitting in the eye
of a stormy blueish stare that grows on sight
far too many clothes
put my shirt on the bedroom light
and at the ending of it all i'm just some guy
couldn't leave a mark
though i tried with all my might
