about
Heart-meltingly beautiful acoustic ballad about losing someone you love.
lyrics
Lately I don’t see the funny side
Nothing seems quite right
The house is dark the hall is quiet
Where is all the love the noise the sympathy
Close it down it’s dead to me
Please take the key and lock and bolt the door
Set the clocks to 8:15
Leave us as we’ll always be
Sitting waiting for our queen for evermore
We will be dreaming
Of an older kinder land
Where we could be happy all the time
Where we didn’t ever really mind
We will be dreaming
That there is still a distant place
Where there are smiles on our faces
Smiles on our faces
Lately I can’t seem to understand
Anything that’s said to me
I think the gist is why you can’t
Open up your eyes
And now we walk away pretend that there’s
Something in our eyes and say
Goodbye
Set the clocks to 8:15
Leave us as we’ll always be
Sitting waiting for our queen for evermore
We will be dreaming
Of an older kinder land
Where we could be happy all the time
Where we didn’t ever really mind
We will be dreaming
That there is still a distant place
Where there are smiles on our faces
Smiles on our faces
Lately I can’t seem to work out why
Paradise eludes me
Blame it on the way I can’t work out how to lose you
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
