Temple Cloud

Temple cloud

You said you couldn’t stand the sight of him

Yet I heard you banging on his door at 4am

You woke the neighbours at the end of the road

You can’t be proud in Temple Cloud

Where even the silence is too loud

Finally you moved in with him

You bought a brand new red brick House

You hung your paintings on the bedroom wall

But twos a crowd in Temple Cloud

Nobody seems to cry out loud

You tried to change your situation

But gripped by hesitation

There’s no new destination

After 3 long years he left you

Crying on the bedroom floor

All he left you was a bottle of pills

Still unbowed In Temple Cloud

Nobody seems to cry out loud

Twos a crowd in Temple Cloud

Even the silence is too loud.
