Tin Man

(album: Shape Of Silence - 2018)

Somewhere in the dark I felt your body leave me
Now I wait and feel your weight in other things
Somewhere in the dark the skeletons retrieve me
Now I wait and feel your weight in coloured dreams

Unruly sun, what have you done?
The Lion runs and says he'll never hurt me
But the Tin Man will not desert me
The Tin Man will not desert me

Of all the golden roads I could try and drown in
On tenterhooks the boyhood crooks remain
Oh, decrepit throne, I'd never lay you down here
On tenterhooks it only looks the same

Unruly sun, what have you done?
The Lion runs and says he'll never hurt me
But the Tin Man will not desert me
The Tin Man will not desert me

The Lion runs (Oh, oh, oh)

Somewhere in the dark, the shape of silence drew me (The Lion runs)
Somewhere there's a heart, the shape of it grows through me
Now I wait, the morning's long and late

Unruly sun, what have you done?
The Lion runs and says he'll never hurt me
But the Tin Man will not desert me (The Tin Man will not desert me)
The Tin Man will not desert me (The Tin Man will not desert me)
The Tin Man will not desert me (The Tin Man will not desert me)
The Tin Man (The Tin Man)
