lyrics
I just found a brand new key
To sing the blues
But it’s deceiving
It won’t change the meaning
I wrapped it up in minor chords
But it’s no use
And words confound me
With the way they’ve bound me
But I’m going to lose you
Just like the rest
I’m going to lose you
It’s what I do best
I’m going to lose you
Like each one before
I keep hoping that this time is different
But I know the score
We talk in riddles
We talk in rhymes
We talk into each others’ mouths
And try to read between the lines
We talk in cyphers
We talk in tongues
We talk staring at the ceiling
Right until the morning comes
And when you leave my bed
That space still smells of you
Like alcohol and cigarettes
And foggy flashes and regrets
But as you pin me down you say
“It never will be you”
Cos hands move quick and hands move fast
But hands are not enough to last
But it took me far too long to realize
I couldn’t fill the hollow of your bones
And I couldn’t find the words to verbalize
The hurt I felt deep hidden in the moans
I’ve seen the future
And it’s looking grim
So hand me a lemon
And a bottle of gin
I’ve got an aching head
I’ve got an empty bed
I’m feeling wasted
Wasted on you
Cupid’s bow missed my chest
So I’ll take second best
If you’ll still have me
I’ll settle on you
But I’m going to lose you
Just like the rest
I’m going to lose you
It’s what I do best
I’m going to lose you
Like each one before
I keep hoping that this time is different
But I know the score
And all that’s left are letters
Written on a page
Ink may bleed and paper tear
But words don’t fade with age
All that’s left are letters
Folded into squares
So weary with the weight of all
The heart could never bear
Edd Donovan's day job as a social worker brings a sense of empathy to his elegantly constructed political folk music. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 26, 2019
