letra de larks that were never really there // dawn chorus - azure (prog rock)

Loading...

once, upon a daydream in the sun
i was squelching wellies in the
mud and muck, when mother called me home
‘stay indoors, and promise you won’t go’

i thought i saw you there

late that night, i crept outside once more
marched the mud along the kitchen
floor, the door was open wide again
easy to escape my country pen

and in the dead of night
i left my house behind
what was my mother hiding from her only son?
whatever it happened to be, i could never return
i could never go home again

father used to have a way with words
(tell me stories that i’d never heard)
i ran away when i was just a girl
(mother said he was a useless)
drunk and tired, he said he didn’t care
like i wasn’t ever really there

if i could fly away
i’d try and find your face
no-one will take your place
father, father gone without a trace

i have lost everything for you
a man i never knew
the words are all i have to hang on to
something seemed a little odd to me
why would you pack your things and
leave me here?
you weren’t that kind of man
or were you?

maybe i’m exhausted and i’m old
should have believed what i was told
i never learn
thanks to you i wasted my youth, my love, my life
and now i lay with broken wings
my mother said such awful things about you
yet here i am
here i am

and now the dawn chorus, as it comes
brings with her a final song
and finally, i can see
the wings from your words
