Lead Light

(album: Don't Let The Kids Win - 2016)

I was once a Sunday kneeler
When I saw the leadlight, fall from the pane
I didn't know that the grass, was not only greener
Upkeep is cheaper, when you embrace the rain
So I jumped down to lay with my leadlight
Under your spotlight, I lay with the shards
I didn't know that the ground, is not only harder
Oh but colder when you are not around

I love you my darling I do!
But I can let possession make a fool of you
I love you my darling I do!
But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through

So I ran with dreams to reach the skyline
Straight up that incline, I ran towards the blue
I didn't know that the sky, is not only wider
Oh but clearer when I'm standing next to you

I love you my darling I do!
But I can let possession make a fool of you
I love you my darling I do!
But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through

Oh I believe in trust you see
But don't you go and put your trust in me
I cost more than you earn
So tell me boy why didn't you ever learn?

I love you my darling I do!
But I can let possession make a fool of you
I love you my darling I do!
But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through
