lyrics

Stolen Poetry.


Stolen poetry, slipping through my hands.
A neck of shoreline in the trees.
A darkened house, our long-neglected plans.
When daylight savings comes around
to the sideshows at the old footy ground,
we’ll leave them waiting.
We’ll roam the golden Earth,
ride it for all it’s worth; right until the end.
Kissing under bridges,
kissing under bridges,
kissing your hair.
The evening slowly changes,
the evening slowly changes.
She said, you are the way,
the truth in the night, and that poem’s a knife
and it sinks into the flesh.
You know, we used to read that stuff aloud
to each other, under autumn blankets,
under summer’s cover –
but that could never save me.
Right around the corner and down the road,
lovers under headlights.
Falling into the tall grass,
waiting for the shame to pass.
When the day is done and
I make my way outside,
to get things wrong and put things right.
The evening slowly changes.
The evening slowly changes.
I used to write such meaningful letters
to everyone that I loved.
From rooftop bars,
to underpasses under tarps.
Behind the dunes and out of the wind.
Though all the din, through thick and thin.
And just before the moon goes out,
she gets up and leaves without a word.
As if she never heard,
as if she never heard.
The day has come and
I make my way outside,
to get things wrong and put things right.
The evening slowly changes.
The evening slowly changes.
Sinking into the Indian Ocean,
that’s just the way she is,
just the way she is.
That’s just the way she is.
