lyrics

I’ll never write another song babe,
I’ll never write another word.
I’ll stop all the fuss and carry-on babe,
Fly high above concern like a bird.
I’ll give it all away. The price too dear to pay
For one more song of love gone wrong.
Don’t want to summarise the throes of our demise.
I’ll turn my head away, shut tight both my eyes.

Seems grief and sorrow are our only constants,
But don’t it keep us focussed to the task
Of keeping our ending un-written?-
Smelling salts to our battered hearts.
Stay here in my life, aching as the knife
Pressed keen against the near dead-man’s throat.
Stay here by my side, the raging rivers wide
Might spare us once again, we’ll keep this love afloat….

Don’t leave, don’t turn into a song-
The type that lonely folk sing when the nights are cold and long.
Don’t leave. If we don’t write the ending down
We can still pretend there’s hope we’ll turn this love around.
Don’t leave.

If history is written by the winner,
What if no-one really won?
What will be deemed unimportant
Or valued when the writing has begun?:
The nuance in a gaze, the subtle light and shade
Found in unexpected corners of a life.
The trivialities our protagonist can’t see
That cause a heart to lift or cause a soul to weep….

Don’t leave, don’t turn into a song.
I won’t do it justice, I’m bound to get it wrong.
Don’t leave. If we don’t write the ending down
We can still pretend there’s hope we’ll turn this love around.
Don’t leave, don’t turn into a song-
The type that lonely folk sing when the nights are cold and long.
Don’t leave. Tell me why’d it have to end-
One more time help me get it through my head
