lyrics

With a heavy chest I walk, she cracked her vow
With the deepest sigh I’m led, to believe her.
The word is in the air, I had a notion.
But the hazel in her eyes, convinced me

Otherwise,

Cover me in silence,
We broke the ice,
It would have coloured all of us.

With that mad stare in those eyes. a a trace of shock
A nod you did approve, then we leaned in.
I trailed home by myself, through sleepy streets,
Somehow I did believe you, I was on a cloud.

At a distance,

I saw it come from miles away.
I killed this stone dead.
It would have coloured both of us.
