Swane silvertone Songtext

von Boo Hewerdine

And I can't rip your heart out
Like the Swan Silvertones
But I can be there
When you're lonely
And I can hold you
When you're angry
And I can shake you
When you're hurting yourself
And I can be the blame
When there's no-one else

And I can't make your soul sing
Like the Mighty Clouds of Joy
But I can hear you
When you're hurting
And I can watch you
When you're sleeping
And I can talk you down
When you don't make sense
And I can be the crack
In your defence
You're not alone

And your hands are warm
And your heart is cold
And your fingers smell of money
You could stick your head
In the grate instead
And pretend you found it funny

Or I could be there
When you're lonely
I could hold you
When you're angry
I could shake you
When you're hurting yourself
I can be the blame
When there's no-one else
I can hear you
When you're hurting
And I can watch you
When you're sleeping
And I can talk you down
When you don't make sense
And I can be the crack
In your defence

You're not alone
