Lyrics

Let me take you walking through our city,

it’s quarter past 10 in the evening, and it’s raining.

I’m enamoured by the way it constantly stays the same,

but is also changing.

Let me walk you through our home,

my body large, my edges round, my head no hair.

Let me show you how I stand as who I am,

and how at quarter past 10, not a single stranger stares.

It’s like the cars are on cables, and the litter has been moonlit.

And they’re pumping out the smell of chip shops and cheap beer.

And I promise when I tell you,

not a lie as I say it,

there isn’t anything you’d pay me to be anywhere but here.

I’ll listen to all of your fears,

and I will believe you.

I’m sorry that it took me so long to allow myself to.

Trust me, life changes.

You have lived only in margins,

welcome to the pages.

You will sleep at night and you won’t lock your bedroom door,

you won’t fear the footsteps on the landing.

You’ll be held by a woman that loves you more,

than any fear of any god or what he’s planning

You’ll walk with your head held high,

and your hand will hold hers,

and they won’t hold your eye for it.

You won’t fear what lurks in the dark, though that story is ours,

you have made space for it.

You’ll have friends that look like you, that don’t fear the names,

of the words that describe you, don’t fill you with shame.

And when you talk of a childhood of double locked doors,

you’ll recognise that the blame it never was yours.

You’ll meet strangers in muddy fields, who’ll tell you of their children,

you’ll speak with pride and never shame, and use the right language for them,

and to know you played a small role in them finding their home,

you’ll recognise past you, that was just so alone.

You’ll have a house full of light, and a family you trust,

and you own the words that describe you,

don’t mutter them with disgust.

And I promise you will get there, or a version that feels right,

if you let yourself be hopeful, if you let yourself survive.

If you let yourself survive.
