Kisses

歌詞

a wise white moon sinks down into the sea you wake up freezing cold, you lying under me in a beach hut in a southern town, pebbledash grey on a morning white as feathers the sun as red as clay sometimes your eyes were chestnut brown sometimes your eyes were green sometimes your eyes were grey they were the strangest i have seen and you'd fix your eyes upon white lines i'd fix mine next to yours and we would ride these english roads from shore to shining shore as if we could live on kisses and stolen habitation riding up and down connecting lines in wagons built of steel to sit on hard, stone beaches the morning after rain and watch the water rising and then falling back again the sun sinks down beneath the waves you wonder will you see her face your wondering won't leave you alone as summer clouds turn brutish grey your smile still flickers bright as day why do we stand here like two fools in summer's fading light? come now, come, we'll beat the dawn and leave this place behind leave this stolen room and shingle shore, ride off into the night i'll fix my eyes upon the road if you fix yours next to mine and we'll warm our hands on heated air in the first car that we find and sometimes when i wake beneath a sky as grey as steel i still expect to find your body's imprint next to me i'm reminded of you when i see those wagons roll like broken glass i watch them pass, grey spectres in my soul come now, come, the day moves on and leaves us both behind beat back the moon that rises like a shadow in your mind how can i even talk to you with your eyes so faraway as if someday soon that road you love might steal you back again... as if you could live on kisses and stolen habitation riding up and down connecting lines in wagons built of steel to sit on hard, stone beaches the morning after rain and watch the water rising and then falling back again
