Burning Bridges

When you lay down your life
In the far fields of sorrow
And you pray through the night
And you see no tomorrow any more

When the pain never hurts
God and faith, king and country
When you crawl through the dirt
When you climb from the trenches
Then you die every minute of the day

In a world of your own
In a place you remember
Where the work has all gone
In a land fit for heroes
There’s a new order coming in its place

Guns away, run away
Come away, get away from here today
Run away, come away
Get away from here today

In the depths of the town
In the heart of the city
With the lights going down
When they strike without pity
We must hide all our privilege away

Run away, come away
Hide away, get away from here today
Come away, hide away
Get away from here today
Never go, never know
Never so afraid as now
Never go, never know
Never so afraid as now

When they crawl through the streets
Like a new model army
Out of sight, out of reach
When they kill without mercy
And we hide in our doorway till it ends
And the pain in your body never mends
And we’re still burning bridges in the end

Over And Over

Could I dream of any more than
I never knew what I could miss
Until I saw you smiling
Until I heard you laughing

Never understanding why I never understand
Never ever ending till I’m back where I began

I thought I could never feel the same
I thought you never knew my name
Until I heard you say it
Until I heard you shout it

Never understanding why I never understand
Never ever ending till I’m back where I began

I could never have believed my ears
But never in a thousand years
I thought you’d never notice
I thought you must be joking
I thought I must be dreaming

Could I dream of any more than this
I never knew what I could miss
It always leaves me wanting
It only leaves me nothing

Never understanding why I never understand
Never ever ending till I’m back where I began

My life is living twice as fast
As if it couldn’t ever last
Another thirty minutes
As if it ever mattered
As if I ever meant it

Never understanding why I never understand
Never ever ending till I’m back where I began
Never understanding why I never understand
Over and over and over again
Never ever ending till I’m back where I began

The End Of The Affair

There’s nothing left to say
There’s nothing left to do
Just look the other way
I’ll walk away from you

I wasn’t hoping for a perfect ending
I wasn’t looking for a perfect friendship
I never wanted all of this to happen
I never wanted anything at all

I never meant to stay
I never saw the time
I only wrote to say
Don’t write to me again

Colours fly away from you
Colours take me far from you
Never bring me back again
Only think about you now and then

I never saw the snow
I never felt the chill
I thought I’d never know
And now I never will

I’m just waiting for the warmer weather
I’m just trying to put my thoughts together
Won’t be long though it seems a lifetime
I’m just waiting for the sun to shine again
