Pour Down

(album: Clouds - 2022)

You said I'd be alright alright
But you don't really know now do you
And you said you'd be all mine all mine
But you don't really know now do you
You don't really know do you

I was young and throwing my weight around
When the rain came we never made a sound
We just let it all pour down

All I needed was a shoulder for the weeping
Suns and moons to spin me through the year
What I got was less a reason for the speaking
A Himalaya of dishonesty
A Niagara of deceit

I still wilt in the glare of your failing light
Do I care do I care do I care
I might
I'm still lost in the tide of a bygone dream
Only you know what I mean

Am I nothing but the camphor in your garden
A camisole of carbon and belief
You leave me heaving in the street where this all started
And I'll part the endless highway
I'll walk the long white line

I've a heavy tread and I take my time
All I gave is yours all you leave is mine
I am teeming with dread for the answers I'll never find
Oh and you don't seem to mind
You don't seem to mind
And you don't really know
Now do you
Now do you
