If You'd Seen Him

I'd give you all that I know

but I was not there.

Still recognise the sound of

your shoes on the stairs.

You don't come back so often

and when you do you're not

without a gift for the ocean

lest you be forgot

If you saw him you knew

light up red

light up blue

bright as mid afternoon in your mind.

Let's not talk

let's just eat

wipe the dirt

from you feet

we all know where you've been tonight

Intermittent reception,

all the drugs that you took.

Now there's flowers on the headland

in the place you once stood.

Break every bone in your body

just to show us it hurts,

with a 5 year plan

in a note for the girls,

at low tide we'll search

If you saw him you knew

light up red

light up blue

bright as mid afternoon in your mind.

Let's not talk

let's just eat

wipe the dirt

from you feet

we all know where you've been tonight

If I'm honest I knew

light up red

light up blue

bright as mid afternoon in your mind.

Let's not talk

let's just eat

wipe the dirt

from you feet

we all know where you've been tonight

Oh tonight.
