lyrics

I lit out under a raining cloud
In a town where all the streets sloped south
Where the traffic flowed and stopped to rest
To the rhythm in my hollow chest

If a distant constellation
Was reading thoughts from in my mind
It would all be useless information
Just coming down that line
Cos I have no revelation
Just a feeling I can’t describe
I need to speak with you tonight
Oh Honey, I

I stumbled in the empty house
And I stood there in the dark for hours
I’d memorised each room, each hall
I traced my fingers along the dusty walls

I heard an old folk singer
Humming through a radio
Singing songs of loss and sadness
About a girl he used to know
That was more than fifty years now
I wasn’t born before he died
I need to speak with you tonight
Oh Honey, I

Lately I’ve been thinking
If I could live a million lives
Would I change myself to make me
Light the spark behind your eyes?
Would I stand by my convictions?
Would I never tell a lie?
I need to speak with you tonight
Oh Honey, I
