Sad Old Jumper

打印 下载

Beneath the hill
A junction of dispatch
Sat up on a doorstep
Still crawling
Willows that hold tight
Get too easily attached
And they couldn’t keep the boy
From Falling
Like a sad old jumper
You just stick to the pavement
Hold the disused rail
Like a seasoned pro claimant
Dusty staircase
A stilt of cold suspense
All my wits and endings
Left standing
Withered hands
Cannot meet with your demands
And they couldn’t stop keep the boy
From landing
Like a sad old jumper
You just stick to the pavement
Hold the disused rail
Like a seasoned pro claimant
And you lay there
with a smile
Your yawning eyes
So cloudy
Yeah you make it
Worth the while
With your eyes
Your eyes
(Your eyes)
They keep telling me strength comes from
(Your eyes)
Adversity in the form of
(Your eyes)
Two diverging forces
Pulling away
Pulling apart
Tender lives
The very ground we built
To stabilise
The ground you walk to school on
The school that teaches you lessons like
Love is fleeting
Or mistreated
And some mums and dads travel in the same car
Work the same hours
And maybe that's your fault
Well maybe that's your fault
And like a sad old jumper
You just stick to the pavement
Hold the disused rail
Because one day it will be the only thing stopping the moons from coming together
In such a way
That you wish they hadn’t bothered
Because they probably wish they never bothered
A top the hill
A lonely aching heart
I'll see you through the week.
