about

This track is for my mother

lyrics

I just talked for an hour with Melanie
She's a woman of heart and mind
And she listens to me, while I unpick mine
so much damage; it fills me with despair
I feel broken, there's just pieces everywhere
Well it's a bomb-site soul...

She's very kind, and she's patient with me
I think she understands the strain
Of all these secrets, so long locked away
So much damage, but patiently we try
To move forward, one piece at a time
But it's a thin, thin line...

Oh love I cannot say your name
Oh love, it brings me too much pain from all the trouble,
None of it intended I know
Oh love, I cannot say the word
Oh love, but it's all I've ever heard in my dreams, but
Some things can't be mended I know

You know it breaks my heart; all the waste of all these years
We keep our distance, but it costs us oh so dearly

You know, I've always put me thoughts down on paper
But I'm struggling to write down these lines
There's so much that I'd like to say, and little time
But all this damage, it just gets in the way
And time passes, it goes quicker every day
And nothing can be done ......

Oh love .......
