The sun lay on our skin
as we sat on the ropes
salty air, greasy paper
that day down in Hastings
as we played in the sun like children
and you bought me a chip shop shandy
and it was joy
joy
joy

The stones rattled as the sea pulled out
from the shore
this body of war
this body of water
you took a picture pinched a feeling
crossed legs and yellow beaming
I said hold me like you mean it
I said love me like you mean it
you told me for a laugh you’d prob’ly get bored
not have the nerve to cut me loose
just go cold until I am lost
all at sea in a milk white fog
reaching for the land that once held us
just searching for some solid ground
many a word
many a word
many a word
the day was yours like the day before
and the day after
we passed those cobbled streets you gracing that town
and I saw my life drawn out at your right hand
looked inside my book and found the pages blank
knew I’d never be as big as I should be
but walking away is never easy
many a word
many a word
many a word

the wind blew hard on the day
on the day that she was born
the egg fell down from the tree
and through a crack in the dawn
the years go by cold and still
she was raised in the name of God
and love back then came in
the lack and discipline
we'll always do what we can
with all that we've got
how do you build a house
with sticks and stones and moss
i'm sorry for the times i ran
the times i can take no more
it's times like these we should take the blame
and lay it on the floor
when i said goodbye last time
i held her to my chest
her smell is like the solstice sun
her voice, her hands are home
