Semaphores On The Lawn

(album: Life Is Elsewhere - 2012)

We met on the tenth of March
I thought I caught your panic in the railway arch
She said we can just pretend
Do it many times then I'll kiss your friends

Semaphores on the lawn, are you coming or not?
Semaphores on the lawn, are you coming or not?
And the moment's gonna pass me by in the blink of an eye

She passed in the din of June
Listening to Dylan in an empty room
Depression is a life turned bland
Burning like a filament in both her hands

Semaphores on the lawn, are you coming or not?
Semaphores on the lawn, are you coming or not?
'Cause we are
Semaphores on the lawn, are you coming or not?

For a long time I was drenched in words that I would say 'if only'
You can get them at any moment's loss, but if you take it slowly
So won't you come and take another sip of more wine
'Cause we've been dancing on your doorstep for a long time

Yeah yeah yeah

I can do it, I can do it like an old friend
I can make her every moment like a past tense

Yeah yeah yeah

Semaphores on the lawn, are you coming or not?
Semaphores on the lawn, are you coming or not?
'Cause we are,
Semaphores on the lawn are you coming or not?
'Cause we are,
On my fourth on the lawn, are you coming or not?
Semaphores on the lawn, are you coming or not?
