Stray Talk

It's dark but I don't want to find the light And I can't close my eyes The only one you really trust Is the one who always lets you down It's not my place to give advice When all I've done was make mistakes I didn't mean to tell you everything And anyway, well it's too late in the day Stray talk all alone Swinging out of view I'm flailing round the room And I'm staring out at you Don't burn your hand when you turn out the light Your cheek is turning red You always wake me with your warmth And your arms wrapped around my neck The broken silence lasts for seconds And normal service is resumed I didn't mean to tell you anything And anyhow, well it's too soon for that now Stray talk all alone Swinging out of view Well I'm flailing round the room And I'm staring out at you You sat there looking like a prize So I went back on what I'd said And now we're both left out to dry Put out to sea and left to drift We're drifting out to sea We're drifting out to sea You said the leaves are like that day And now they're dead and charred Stray talk all alone Swinging in and out of view Well I'm flailing round the room And I'm staring out at you
