Lyrics by Kenton Hall
Music by Kenton Hall & Chris Ilett

lyrics

He stumbles blindly to the water
Clutching a photograph of someone else’s daughter
He selects the perfect stone
Curls it in his fist
It skims the surface with
An innocence that he has missed
And I
Who lay by his side
Never doubting how hard he tried
Can’t hide
From the pull of that tide

She’s free to leave if she so chooses
He knows his business though, you never see the bruises
She writes the letter in
Terms he will understand
And hangs it underneath
The pencil tracing of a hand
And I
Who lay by her side
Never certain for whom she cried
Can’t hide
From the knot that she tied

Should I not have made promises
(Don't be afraid)
I was never entitled to keep?
(I'll keep you safe)
It never occurred to me honestly
(I won't be ashamed)
That they’d cheat
(To meet your gaze)

They know they’re too well-dressed for sleeping
But it’s their final chance, to look good before leaping
They drop the needle to
That weather-worn shellac
And disappear into
A strain that once had held them back
And I
Who lay by their side
Mistaking sated for satisfied
Can’t hide
From the cost of these lives
