Departures

lyrics

Wake before the dawn. Turn the television on. Blood was shed last night, who cares, it wasn’t hers. Dressed in a brand new suit. Pressed in to your father’s shoes. Raise a glass, chase the ghosts of sleep away.
It’s another start for your borrowed and blue heart. As you dance beneath the lights. Another start for your borrowed and blue heart. And you just wait...

As, dressed in black, you pin the flowers to your chest. the faithless smile as she says ‘yes’. There she lies, clothed in white, breathless for you now. A reminder that you’re not dead yet.

Wake after the dawn. Turn the television off. More bloodshed, who cares, when she’s already gone. Dressed in a threadbare suit. A stranger in familiar shoes. Raise a glass, keep her ghost here for the day.

It’s another start for your borrowed and blue heart. She walks towards the light. Another start for your borrowed and blue heart. And you just wait.

As, dressed in black, you watch her pictures on the wall. You brace yourself against her deadweight as she falls. There she lies, clothed in white, breathless for you now. A reminder that you’re not dead yet.
