I met her on the motorway she close lit up the sky
Sliding like a broken heart that glides upon the ice
I pulled my ambulance in close and reached in through the wreck
There’s blood on her neck, there’s blood on her neck
Panic inside, I can’t swerve my nerves onto the outside
She died like a waif
She’s the girl I couldn’t save
I took her to the hospital and put her into bed
Drips and tubes did go into her body and her head
I watched her heart beat gentle on the monitor then what?
It suddenly stops, it suddenly stops
It’s panic inside, I can’t swerve my nerves onto the outside
She died like a waif
She’s the girl I couldn’t save
It’s manic inside, her head has bled over the roadside
She died like a waif
She’s the girl I couldn’t save
It was my last call and every night I recall
Every mistake that I did and didn’t make
I went to her funeral wrapped up in guilt and black
She’s not coming back. She’s not coming back.

Our Little House
03:05

In our little house
We’d sit by the fire
Until the coal did take its toll and we’d perspire
We’d watch others lives
On little screens
And we would try to figure out our doubts in reams
But we still slept in one bed
Although our love was half dead you
Once told me that you knew
That there was someone else
She came to our home
Our shared address
Where we did sleep her body heat did warm my chest
Picture a whole
Jigsaw of clues
She put each piece beside a piece until she knew
But we still slept in one bed
Although our love was half dead you
Once told me that you knew
That there was someone else
Behind the curtain
You couldn’t know for certain who’d
Already replaced you
Swapped you for someone else
Else, else,
We dressed, we dressed
We dressed, we dressed
And in a daze, and in a daze we left
And in a daze, and in a daze we left
Our little house

Sleep Alone

Sleep alone, cos when you lie with a woman
She’ll let you know that while she’s a patient woman
Soon things will have to change
You’ll have to shield her pain
Sleep alone, cos once you’ve been with a woman
She’ll let you know that while she’s a dreamy woman
She want to settle down
She want to steal your crown
Hopeless was the thought that somehow I’d avoid
All of this, a settled life, a woman who’ll destroy
Me, everything, and I’ll be left a blank inside a frame
Just to sleep alone again
Sleep alone, cos when you lie with a woman
She’ll let you know that while she’s a patient woman
Soon things will have to change
You’ll have to steal her pain

Quietly discovering the secret matters of the heart now
Silently under my wing your secret matter hits me hard now, now
We were so close, like two eyes upon the same face
You closed us both, now blindly love has been misplaced, wait
You’re managing to make it worse
So just pack your case and go, just leave, I’m loathe to grieve
It’s saddening to put love in a hearse
But it’s too late to reverse, they’ve closed the street
We were so close, like two eyes upon the same face
You closed us both, now blindly love has been misplaced
Secrets are lies in lovers eyes when they don’t leave the mouth
Secrets will hide until the time when they can cause most doubt
We were so close, like two eyes upon the same face
You closed us both, now blindly love has been misplaced, wait
You’ve got to stand and let it fall apart
Like secrets from the heart fall, just fall

Waltz With Her
03:06

Dream of her, spinning
Leave the girl wishing
We fell in love when we were young
And we fell back out again
Waltz with her, until the early hours
Jolts and twirls, in among the flowers
We fell in love when we were young
And we fell back out again
We were young then we grew older
And I learnt the steps before I told her
All of my regrets I didn’t hold her
But we did share a glance
When were young we’d waltz together
And we thought that this might be forever
With a touch as soft as any feather
But only for the dance
