Little Friend

(альбом: Life Lessons - 2016)

Our little friend is tucked away
Sleeping in some far flung galaxy
Breathing like a baby concertina
And foxes are fighting
Congregating in the garden
Trying to choose a leader
Two pairs of eyes watch satellites
Dance between the clouds
And there's no chance they're coming down
At least we know we're
Un-alone

Lay your weight on my shoulder
And your hands on my backbone
Until it feels like we're almost
Passed the point of no return
Sunset dashes across your cheeks
Where splashes of colour meet
And mix into a maelstrom
Just beyond the point of no return

Familiar vitriol is filtering
Through walls and windowpanes
Then drowned out by the train
Bringing home the last commuter
And everything is slow
And you look like a phantom in a glow
From your computer

Two pairs of eyes watch satellites
Blink between the clouds
And I don't think they're coming down
At least we know we're
Un-alone

Lay your weight on my shoulder
And your hands on my backbone
Until it feels like we're almost
Passed the point of no return
Sunset dashes across your cheeks
Where splashes of colour meet
And mix into a maelstrom
Just beyond the point of no return

You say you saw something
In the surface of the neighbour's pool
I feel your fear so I fake my cool
I tell you that it's just regrets reflected
And black is nothing more
Than silhouettes connected
Forget the retrospective
I promise in the future you will be protected
And I'll be calling home to let you know
You're un-alone

Lay your weight on my shoulder
And your hands on my backbone
Until it feels like we're almost
Passed the point of no return
Sunset dashes across your cheeks
Where splashes of colour meet
And mix into a maelstrom
Just beyond the point of no return
