lyrics

the riverside of twisted roots
and mattresses and shoes
can only hold you for so long
you’ve done bucolic blues

there is a new old life ahead
i see you waltzing through those louvre doors
your life is not quite over yet
i know i will see you downtown...

…where melodramas
never quite desist
a party’s happening somewhere
and you never could resist

a tried and tested life’s ahead
i see you marching through an open door
if life is not quite over yet
i know i will see you some time...

…but only if you’re done with twigs and stones
they only held me for so long
and now i’m going home
