The Weather Speaks Your Name

(album: Night Network - 2020)

You don't have to be uncovered
I see you more than any other
You don't think I know it's unfair?
Chances were lost whilst you were out here
You know that you warmed my summer
And the rest of it is lost in the ether
As sure as the year grows harder
Light reflections on a flooded garden, but

Sometimes yeah the weather speaks your name
Like a childhood moment that felt the same
Keep wishing for an ever shorter day
I'd love you alone
But you were lost in another age

You don't have to read me better
I hear my voice spoke through a translator
You know you could be my sister
If you're only another Libra
You know that you owned my summer
And the rest of it is lost in the ether
You're only that honest someone
That I don't have to call into question but

Sometimes yeah the weather speaks your name
Like a childhood moment that felt the same
Keep wishing for an ever shorter day
I'd leave you alone but...
Then you'd be lost in another age

She's with me but only spiritually
And in the written word but only digitally
Around 2 am we speak intimately and
I hear echoes wail around the English coast
But in the bleakness you see the romance most
