lyrics

THE FOLLY

We walk quietly inline
Just gassing about old times
And its cool I can feel the breeze
Hold my hand give some warmth to me
Life is so brief
And mostly it isn’t sweet
When I’m all snagged up and lost at sea
You’ll dive from the beach
And swim to me

I’m back in the old town
I used to fear this hallowed ground
Forgive me for what you’ve seen
Forgive my small town honesty
The quickstep of slow decay Turns the world to green grey
The wounds I’d written down for you
They were the folly of enigmatic youth

So say on the 16th you’ll plunge yourself back love with me
And by Sunday 24th, I’ll have more to thank you for

I’m back in the old town
I used to fear this hallowed ground
Forgive me for what you’ve seen
Forgive my small town honesty
The quickstep of slow decay Turns the world to green grey
The wounds I’d written down for you
They were the folly of enigmatic youth

Don’t twist it around
Don’t turn my world upside down
Stay, stay by my side
I know the earth is tipping off its axis tonight
Anytime, in a way
Its a host of stolen words
Lost and decayed…decayed
