Lay My Cards

Is that look in your eye especially reserved for me
Or d'ya carry it with ya for every woman who seems real
All the drunk late night calls and stupid poems we exchange
I seem to not know how or understand how you feel anymore
Do you think we could be lovers
What if we're dying quicker than before
And the clock strikes before our time
Would we be satisfied you weren't mine
So you stick to what you know
Making love beneath the stars
Whilst I search high and low for the one to raise the bar
Lay my cards upon the table
And say sorry to you, baby
This is no ultimatum
But it's the only way I know
I'm a catalyst of destruction, but who are you to fight the urge
Shall we just bathe in denial and then disguise it all with words
Spill my blood on old Joanna, you'll never wash those stains away
And I think you understand how I am losing my mind, all the time
So we stroll down empty streets
Without a care for anyone
Well that's at least what we tell our friends
Cos god forbid we'd fall in love
So you stick to what you know
Making love beneath the stars
Whilst I search high and low for the one to raise the bar
Lay my cards upon the table
And say sorry to you, baby
This is no ultimatum
But it's the only way I know
I said it's the only way I know
It's the only way I know

City Nights

As I enter these streets
And the city blooms from its cocoon
And the rain hits back from the ground just like a drum
Lights wild like hair
And the streetlamps stand proud
And the Devil’s drink makes these nights so numb
I wake from my slumber
And I raise my glass and my feet
The casting shadows of the room look dead
And you said
“This is the sweetest red wine I’ve ever tasted in my goddamn life”
But I just can’t sleep in this bed
I curse at the moon
And I scream at the stars
And I tell you all the secrets of my broken heart
I hear your voice of reason
But I’m begging of you, Lord
We’ll share Marlborough Lights and city nights and we’ll play your favourite chord
You take me by the river where I watch my heroes drown
As they sing in harmony and they wash away their masks of disguise
Cold goodbyes

Please don't go so soon
We were gonna sail out to sea
Just you and me
I guess I was too in love with
Too swept up by the lethal tsunami
Just like his dream
We set sail in the blackened marsh and obeyed the great monsoon
Be the gnomon to my sundial, love the vastness of my moon
Now a cutthroat razor blade is trembling towards the red balloon
Please don't go so soon
Please don't go so soon
Please don't go so soon
