lyrics

Left your sad book on the train
those winter nights keep the city hopeful
but the cold is much the same
running down your coat sleeves
through these bricks and gravel
bricks and gravel

There's an underground alert started in my mind
no-one's keeping posted, the radio won't respond
I can't be closr to you I can only write
creaking comes from blackened buildings
and I'm just living light

So as the city sleeps I hope that you will think of me
just a bird of clay fallen off it's purch
silently it weeps but keeps on falling
bird of clay will soon be subterranean
I thought, i thought
how come you're not as cold as me?

The serpent waits to bite the bird
my claws are bleeding from the wires on the fence
no view can last forever
no plea can go unheard
my breath salutes the sunrise as i try to see beyond the present tense

So as the city sleeps I hope that you will think of me
just a bird of clay fallen off it's purch
silently it weeps but keeps on falling
bird of clay will soon be subterranean
I thought, i thought
how come you're not as cold as me?
