letra de reflections - the northern folk

[verse]

well, i’m a long way from the fairytales
of those troubadour clichés
and the night that you said ‘fare thee well’
sits fairly well these days
and there’s nothing like distraction
to help the doom slip by
but i can’t look my reflection in the eye

and i’ve sh-lled my share of evenings
staring holes right through my shoes
i’ve often scurried by bad frankie’s
for fear of bumping into you
but it’s helped me curb the backsliding
i tried to justify
i can’t look my reflection in the eye

now i keep myself encouraged
counting the worries i outgrew
and the long days make me ache
the way i used to ache for you
so i renew my puissance
with each night that i survive

[bridge]
and the cause of my compunction
is how we ended here
our only sin was in the function
symbiotic but insincere
in conjunction with the boredom
of the unbeholden balladeer

all the bacharach and back of the rack wine
dripping cold contrition down my spine
’til i can’t look my reflection in the eye

[verse 2 + outro]

so it’s back down to the coal face
head to toe in sweat and soot
well i’ve learned to tow the line
and to live on the back foot

but upon deeper inspection
well you start to realise
that the memories you adore
absorb the remorse that you despise
and the nights when i get hungry
i can eat my words and swallow my pride
but i can’t look my reflection in the eye
