Ladye Bay

You wake up rolling your bowling ball head Been micro-dosing a feeling of dread These days, when you relax It's like a building's collapsed You can't hold it all up You wake up under a layer of dust The calendar you've started to distrust Says what a laugh, you are here The second half of the year And where have you been? But I feel closer to young Than I do to old and grey And my head was full of mud Like the sea on Ladye Bay But your love grew like a song And the music carried me I was lost in what I'd lost When the one thing that I need Was still at my side You wake up longing for life as before You'll get a stick and keep poking that corpse Now and then, just a bit And you hope for a twitch But it will not rise (but it will not rise) The sun is up and your bed weighs a ton Buried in lists of things you have not done But you scream, from it's jaws "Yesterday was yours, but today is mine" But I feel closer to young Than I do to old and grey And my head was churning round Like the sea on Ladye Bay But your love grew like a tree Where my soul so heavy leaned I was lost in what I'd lost When the one thing that I need Was still at my side So, I held on tight The sky was like a feast And the sun was saying grace What a masterpiece What a perfect day But I feel closer to young Than I do to old and grey And my head was full of mud Like the sea on Ladye Bay But your love grew like a prayer When I was down on my knees I was hooked on what I'd lost When the one thing that I need Was still at my side So, I held on tight
