Living

(album: Ropewalk - 2015)

20 to 8 this morning
I hear the baby yawning
Life it seems so easy
Nappies n the TV
There's nothing in the cupboard
She seems to care to much for
Take aways n boozing
Angelina's losing out

On the touch of a mothers lips
And the weight of a silver fist
Ain't doing what she's wanting to do
Oh and I just want you to know

She's living just to be your love
I'm living just to be your love
We're living just to be your love

Don't know if it's the timing
But everytime that I'm in
You are never there while your daughter starts to stare and
These proper little eyelids have grown up without you
Make a little dinner kiddies getting thinner

Come on the temperature is low
Stop acting out you're slow
Do something you ought to do
Oh and I just want you to know

She's living just to be your love
I'm living just to be your love
We're living just to be your love

The postie started yelling
I'm sure that someone's telling
You to do the cleaning
Life is so demeaning
And what's the fascination
With teddies and the earrings
Sorry I was late the flood was at the gate

Come on don't leave this kids alone
I'm here to drive you home
Come around and stay with us instead
The moon is up the sun it waits instead

She's living just to be your love
I'm living just to be your love
We're living just to be your love
