Novena

Humble moon, what now do I do? A restaurants' plastic glass At house party with your hip flask Has he kept you precious like a locket? The pale night alive Through your jeans tight, cigarette box outline in your pocket We're in the bathroom And you perch on the sink I begin to infatuate, exasperate, resuscitate By day the cat sleeps, but at night how he moans Through the window's perspex We sit and talk about sex 'cause it's all we have in common Don't you know And it's youth Ever fading youth Would you have lived differently if you had known This life was on loan? I recall the blue first night I met you Gaze through the passing time Your hair was henna and wine The contrast in what I dream and reality Took you back from the club while your friends all did drugs We never spoke about love Just mortality And it's youth Ever fading youth Would you have lived differently if you had known This life was on loan? And it's youth Ever fading youth Would you have lived differently if you had known This life was on loan? All of these nights you just trawl the same streets Tell the same stories, you count the heart beats Obsess with the death of the miracle days I can feel all your dreams start to flicker and fade And it's youth Ever fading youth Would you have lived differently if you had known This life was on loan? Youth Ever fading youth
