lyrics

I'd sooner fall out of your grace
than stand here one moment more.
The lesson's been learned,
committed to heart:
the longer we wait
the weaker we are.

My body runs on this Wessex blood.
Any question you dig it'll quickly fill up.
Now my friend rides the rails
to that great western front,
moving so slow
I could walk to catch up.

We must make our peace
with the moment we're in.
No portal to Summer nights past
in your glass - or your next glass -
of fruit juice and gin.

The rime played its treason
on that wet-footed king,
and I promised myself
I'd not end up like him.

I cannot speak my rumbling mind.
Though thunder may seek to arrest,
it only lengthens the stride.

Well I've pushed against grief
found it unshiftable stone,
and it's only when I've let up
it drifts off on its own.
The rime played its treason
on that wet-footed king,
and I promised myself,
yeah I promised myself,
yeah I promised myself
I'd not end up like him.
