Sea Defences
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
the sun has bleached your hair my girl
I'm thinking as we're looking out to sea
how was the world before you
who did I used to be
I fell from untouchable
with a tremor in my heart
my love & fear came tumbling out
my defences broke apart
the sun has burned my head again
as I sit & puzzle how
before you I wanted for nothing
& nothing's what I'd have without you now
I came down from invincible
silver bullet in my heart
my love & fear came tumbling out
sea defences broke apart
