Palmistry

(album: From Capelton Hill - 2022)

Your guardian angel has put candles on both your knees, one on each knee; a white one on the left, and a blue one on the right. He's telling you not to worry

She slept in her car at Beachy Head
The indigo sky turned to fire
Then she gave in to desire
Mother and father never sleep
They watch and wait for the day to begin

Then the radio played a sweet serenade
And the sky crashed in

Won't you tell me why
When I think of her it makes me cry
Tell me what the future will be
Take my hand and practice palmistry
Won't you tell me how
I'm supposed to carry on right now
Knowing I won't touch her again
Feel the cold and feel the rain

She slept in her car at Beachy Head
The indigo sky turned to black
And then she never came back
Mother and father burn the funeral pyre
They lie down to dream of the end
Then it's tea time
Endless night life
With their invisible friend

Then the radio played a sweet serenade
And the sky crashed in

Won't you tell me why
When they think of her it makes them cry
Knowing what the future will be
Take their hands and practice palmistry
Won't you tell them how
They're supposed to carry on right now
Knowing they won't touch her again
Feel the cold and feel the rain

Feel the cold
And feel the rain
Feel the cold
And feel the rain

Won't you tell me why
When I think of you it makes me cry
Tell me what the future will be
Take my hand and practice palmistry
Won't you tell me how
I'm supposed to carry on right now
Knowing I won't touch you again
Feel the cold and feel the rain
Feel the cold and feel the rain
