Hinges are yawning in the halls in the morning light up on your bike now Michael

Your absence is dawning in the wind of my errors flight

I'll take your side now I will

You didn't mean it did you?

I didn't say that did I?

Did I?

With a cold front and stone in your eyes

Cut me down and I'll haunt you for your life because I'm frozen now.

The country is bawling from her fleet of youthful eyes who set their sights on better lands

Your parents are calling you back in

As they once did from the evenings grasping hands

I'm pleading and bleeding and I'm fucking freezing

And your smile is teasing me into a broken man

Who's had his chance.

But I didn't chase you did I?

And you didn't run there did you?

For a sun tan and a fresh point of view?

Lay me down and I'd stay there for your life

Because I'm frozen now.

I have a sloping stance on the chance of certain circumstances

Take me back to the local dances before good friends hit the Atlantic

While most of us became booze frantic

Lost in poor decision static

Through self regret we've learned to panic

But I've learned that I'll always be a fan of yours

I'll know you again as I did before

But for now I'll allow to be dragged through open doors by strange daughters as their fathers snore.

You don't really love him do you? Do You?

And I didn't really say that did I?

With a cold front and stone in your eyes

Cut me down and I'll haunt you for your life.
