Evictions

(album: Appreciation - 2018)

You did not beware
Or behave before the west had closed you in
You had waved your arms to [?]
And allowed the Californians win
You had hung nights with high holding
Skies were more than blue
But it's hard to feel more than nothing
If you grow long into

You were caught by connections of sin
Skin, you have no skin
You lost and I win
You had lost your friends by division now
You've kicked out all your kin
Has it been all paid the balance in songs?
It's not make belief they would like us to leave

It's that time arriving, she had no realising
Even while the wren flew out of sight
Open up here, over your roof
The shadow will end
There's no news for you
And the neighbour you knew who was proud
The neighbour you knew who had run
Even cross

You did not beware
Or behave before the west had closed you in
You had lost your friends by division now
You've kicked out all your kin
Believe, believe your friends
Believe before the west had closed you in

But hasn't it all paid the balance in songs?
Let's not make believe, they would like us to leave

It's that time arriving, she had no realising
Even while the wren flew out of sight
Open up here, over your roof
The shadow of it
There's no news for you
And the neighbour you knew who was proud
The neighbour you knew who had run
Even cross

(And the neighbour you knew who was proud
The neighbour you knew who had run)
