Curse On You
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 lay on the flat of the land
Without the strength to keep its flame
I fixed myself a drink
And I went through it all again
Now this had happened once before
I knew you were not joking
The bush was burnt for miles
And into it the sun was sinking
I drove down to the six mile beach
I traced the steps that we had made
Into a dip between two dunes
Two summers since where we had laid
I looked into the sand
Where we had made our indentation
And the movement of our bodies
Now seemed an act of desperation
A bitter star will follow you
An empty sky will swallow you
The prophecies all proven to be true
A bitter star will follow you
An empty sky will swallow you
This song shall be a curse on you
The words that meant so much before
They fell from my mouth like crumbs
The sun lay on the flat of the land
But I swear it was a colder one
A bitter star will follow you
An empty sky will swallow you
The prophecies all proven to be true
A bitter star will follow you
An empty sky will swallow you
This song shall be a curse on you
This song shall be a curse on you
