Lyrics
Find another songEnough of these sad
Wasted hours
Dreaming of country life
You hang over the side of the breezeway
Nothing is said
Only the brightest rays
Pierce the tired eyes
You know what you need
While the sun
Burns through a lake of ice
But there’s no real change
And that’s why we know
This is over now
And what have you done?
What have you learned
From all these stubborn people?
It doesn’t bear thinking
When you look at it now
When it’s all against the needle
I couldn’t believe
You were never ashamed
And if it’s never too late
Then why are you so resigned?
I’m saving the date tonight
But isolation is insatiable
Go on marching in
Through the snow
Crisp and even in constant light
But shifted from its rest
Cannot be replaced
The long rays
Down the sides of your arms tonight
And what have you done?
Where can you live
When it’s all against the needle?
Constellations all
Go on fading out
Once more into the morning
I was never ashamed, you said
I was never ashamed
