Daily Lyrics

We go back a long way
Into the depths of time
The trees are growing strong now
I am yours and you are mine
I’ll check you out
You won’t even know it
See what all the fuss is about
See if you want to show it
I didn’t know you even existed
I didn’t know what was suspected
Was I loved and not rejected
I kept searching and I persisted
In the end was as expected
Now I know you existed
In the end was as expected
I was loved and not rejected

It’s a projection
Your my protection
I’m a reflection
Of your rejection
The word is up
Always up
Fill your cup
It feels good
Doesn’t it
It feels real good
Doesn’t it
I keep calling
Back for more
I’m like a dog
Whining at your door
Take me out tonight
Show me the way
Make me feel alright
With the words you say
They’re funny just the same
You act like you’ve no shame
Speak to me declaim
Make me cry tears of joy
Laughing in the rain
You’re addictive your worlds restrictive
Sometimes you were home
More often I’m alone
With little echoes
On the TV
On the radio
Only you can say
When it’s time to go

You made me do
The things I did
No I won’t forgive you
You said I was
Your everything
Yes I fell for you
All the riches
In the world
You’d work to get for me
We got by
On less and less
You’re still the only one I see
We got a house
With an extra room
Soon came our newborn baby
Now you’re out
All night in town
And you don’t call me baby
I’ve learned to live
I’ve learned to love
I won’t be your baby
I don’t need you
I don’t want you
To come home and save me
Our little girl
Is sweet enough
I’ll teach her well
When she grows up
You’re nothing now to me

There’s a house of horrors in the town
Where some bad things are said to have gone down
Nobody talks about it now
They’ve boarded up the windows
Roses used to grow in the front garden
The smell of scones on a Sunday morning
You’d hear Puccini on a hot summers day
And now they’ve boarded up the windows
No sunlight shards on the kitchen door
No Children’s footsteps across the wooden floor
No money lost down the back of the chair
There once was love now no ones there
He used to love to watch her dance
Reminded him of when he took a chance
Asked her out of a summer night
His luck was in and love took flight
They said she died of a broken heart
When she drifted off into the dark
The kids were gone to New York city
No long distance calls or letters of pity
The music stopped and those roses died
No sunlight shards could hurt their eyes
She sat waiting in her favourite chair
Behind her blackened boarded windows

I can’t hear a word your saying
I’m lost in my own mind and I’m alone
I’ve been walking all day long
Can’t find my way back home
It’s easier when you’ve got friends
To help you take the turn you need
My friends are long gone from my side
All I can do is wish gods speed

So let me be
Who I am
If you see me
You’ll see a man
Who’s looking for a friendly place
To rest my bones and weakened flesh
To ease my soul and shallow breath

My ears are gone from the Hilti gun
My skin is red from the New York sun
I’m earning now I’m living well
I’m yearning for the Liffey swell
Yonkers in the summer heat
Breakfast beer and whiskey neat
I killed a man all in the game
I’ve no regrets he’d do the same
I can’t hear a word she says
Only echoes of lost days
