She Called

The roads are all grey

Like our city

The lights they are as dim.

The roads here stretch for miles like our city

The nights are just as thin

We'll raise our glasses high here

We'll tell our tales as tall.

But this city's already so full of bodies

The beds they are all full.

She called she said we're closer now

That you're so far away.

There's reason beyond reason now

There oceans in our way.

You had no claim I'd long since left your bed

The water does no more than the words already said.

They build their buidings high here

They tell their tales as tall

But this city's already so full of bodies

It does not need one more

This sofa will not hold my shape

The spring they have no give.

I miss your arms about my own

A reminder I must be grown up and cold.

I have a love that will linger

Until I learn to live without it

I have a love that will linger

Until I learn to doubt it

He said that I was pretty

He said I'd do just fine

But this body's already taken

So taken I'm not sure it's even mine

I'll keep on keeping on

Till I've kept you for too long

Oh I'll keep on keeping on

Till I've kept you

Draw a map across my eye lids

Plot the route home through my veins

Beg there feet t keep on moving

Oh I'll fing my way again

Your words mingled with salt

Are only sweeter as I swallow

Your voice across the water's so much easier to follow home.
