Rainbirds - Apparently

A p p a r e n t l y



I travelled for hours
Just to find you sleeping
Noddin` back and forth
In a rocking chair with history
You were tied to its arms
By the sleeves of your shirt
The years didn`t change your looks
Apparently

I waited for hours
Hopin` you`d wake up
Until I decided to leave a note:
`With love and sympathy`
I hugged you softly
Then I kissed you goodbye
There you decided to speak:

Now look what you`ve done to me
Nobody turned me down so heavily
You should have stayed where you were
You should have left me alone
Out here in space
Things don`t change that fast
Apparently

Took two steps backwards
Into the shadow
I bang my head against the wall
I feel it hard and real
You say I`m disgraceful
I`m out to destroy
All of the dreams that are worth living for

Now they`re coming to take you
They`ve pointed you out
To say that the fire is lit
And we`re all allowed to start again
If it is that you dream of
All I can say
The years didn`t change your ways
Apparently
