song lyrics from dundee 5

I am waiting, you’ve forgotten me
Lying on the tender floor
I am tired, drowsy melody
How long have I been waiting for?

You’re brilliant, in your silence
So beautiful with my eyes closed,
I can’t face your presence
Don’t want this thing I chose.

Flames gutter, records ending
I don’t feel it when we kiss
Why am I still waiting?
I take a moment to make a wish

I’m breathing, what did I wish for?
Breathing in perfume and steam.
Say goodbye and close the door,
Leave me to nicer dreams.

song lyrics from dundee 4

I am surfacing
I am coming up for air
I’m opening windows
Clearing away debris

I want to feel clean
Walk outside into sunlight
Feel part of the world
Outside of me and mine.

Drinking water
Breathing pure air
In the daytime.
I’m tired of prowling and creeping,
I’m walking upright now.
I am not invisible.
I’m on the surface in the sunshine.

song lyrics from dundee 3

Walking in the city, when you were here with me
Softly talking, of bitter memories.
You saw these streets as danger
Something I couldn’t see
You wove a magic stranger
Than any known to me

Now the city’s different
Its not just passing cars.
A heavy night silent,
With distant, faded stars.
Certain places call to me
They whisper in my head.
You’ve made the city strange to me,
I see it as you said.

song lyrics from dundee 2

I remember her eyes when I hit her
They changed from light brown to blue
She cried like my babysitter
As she ran round the back of the school

She was a girl who was too tall to touch
Swayed like a reed, easy broken
She repeated herself but she didn’t say much
Such a shame, she was softly well-spoken

In her letter she told me she’d stolen a car
Just to make it in time for her flight
She’d slept in a doorway near Le Gare St Lazare
She’s no money, but that is alright

In the sauna she’d say that she had a degree
Her customers couldn’t care less
It wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be
Within 6 months she’d paid off her debts

I don’t know what she went on to do
I’ve heard rumours but nothing concrete
It would be good if all the rumours were true
If only life were that sweet

song lyrics from dundee 1

Already I’m forgetting
The smell of tanned skin
That I drank in, felt good in
Dry grass smouldering

You have such amazing eyes
And Mediterranean skin
You stand against the sky
With a smile to believe in

It’s a fine, fine day
But it’s the end of summer
And there’s a feeling I can’t explain
Something is going to change
….

deep water

Why look so sad?
Its not so bad
I'm taking you along the tracks
Until we get to deep blue water

Where I used to play
Between sea and sky
Curve along the lines
I'm going down now
Better be careful
I'm going down now
To deep blue water

Walls surround
The sky is blue
A waterfall is louder than the sea
Steeper every year
But there's nothing to fear
If you're with me
And I'm going down now
Better be careful
I'm going down now
To deep blue water

You know this place
You've seen a photograph
And all you have to do
Is walk out of your front door
Like I did before
If only memories
Were as clear as me
And I'm going down now
Better be careful
I'm going down now
To deep blue water
