Nothing's Changed

(album: The Hold Up - 2009)

I promised, miss, I wouldn't do this
But I, I cut it to the bone
Now, here's a man that's so full of it
That he's sleeping all alone

Now give me just one lonely sin
We cannot be a stream
Meet again like next of kin
Our faces rearranged
But nothing's changed

When I sat silent, days and days
Until the thoughts away from tears
I know her mind, she'll let me go
I will just disappear

Mary-Anne, play that one part again
We need a guarantee
She'll hear it once, she'll sing it twice
And then, she'll return with me

Well say, any day now
Any day now
Any day now

Give you onee, she stole no stone
Will let it mark my place
Will tell my wife she loved me well
I miss her kind embrace

And on that stone, that stone you made
There's one enduring phrase
"He let go of one he loved and missed her all his days"
But nothing, no nothing, no nothing's changed
Nothing's changed
