ION SQUARE

​

Ion Square

Perspex swing

I breathe out

You breathe in

Permanent midnight

Our love

Our love

 

How we've come to depend

On each other to the end

The space between us

Has disappeared

You finish my

You finish my words for me

 

I remember how it began

So many great days in a row

Barefoot on Bishopsgate

Trying to find Blake's grave

 

If we could stay like this

In a silver foil

Trapped in amber for a life

Permanent midnight

Our love

Our love

 

I carry your heart here with me

I carry it in my heart

I carry your heart with me

I carry it in my heart

 

Who said unbroken happiness

Is a bore?

Is a bore?

Who said it, my love?

I don't mind it anymore

Anymore

 

And I reach out a hand

Over your side of the bed

Pull that blanket

Over your shoulders

Exposed to the night

And the hunger

Of those early years

Will never return

But I don't mind

I don't mind

 

'Cause I love my mind

When I'm fucking you

Slowed down to a crawl

Years of crime

And the bread line

Have not at all

Dimmed your shine

 

So let's stay in

Let the sofa be our car

Let's stay in

Let the TV be our stars

I found my dancing shoes

But they don't fit

All the bright lights

Do is bore me

They bore me

They bore me

 

I carry your heart here with me

I carry it in my heart

I carry your heart with me

I carry it in my heart

 

I carry your heart here with me

I carry it in my heart

I carry your heart with me

I carry it in my heart
