lyrics

I think I must have a fickle heart
Somehow I beheld your soul in the dark
Something about how your voice walked with mine
Somehow I could touch you though you unbroke the line

“Oh if only you’d come back to me”
If you sat down again by my side
Just one more glance at your eyes as they danced
To the flickering of that fire

There are distances that must be travelled
Names to be learned, histories unravelled
Maps of your flesh that I must design
And keep in a cupboard in a room in my mind
Hands to be touched and lips to be shared
Come on, give it all to me, I’ll not be scared
Just let me know something right here at the start –
Do I have a fickle heart?

Sat down two days later and wrote this song
It took a little time, but not too long
External expression of something within
Like playing a game that you know you can’t win

The dark and impenetrable wood
The things I don’t do but I know that I should
The perception of an infinite something
The skip of my heart when I hear your breathing

There are distances that must be travelled
Names to be learned, histories unraveled
Maps of your flesh that I must design
And keep in a cupboard in a room in my mind
Hands to be touched and lips to be shared
Come on, give it all to me, I’ll not be scared
Just let me know something right here at the start –
Do I have a fickle heart?

Oh if only you’d come back to me
If you sat down again by my side
