Statues Songtext

von Duke Special

I drove you back to Arbour Hill
My heart is swollen even still
I wrote with wide eyed ink and quill
To show what's in my soul until
The words my tongue and teeth composed
A month of thumbs and whispered codes
The overlapping shapes we chose
Are faint, remembered videos
There will one day come a time
Your name won't shiver down my spine
I don't want to get over you
But there's other worlds to find
Paralysed don't want to be
Preserved in absent company
The beauty in the wildest land
We try to tame and understand
But nature warns us how she can
She'll press the nettle in your hand
What lies before I do not know
So I will bend and trust the road
Among the winding threads we sew
We find the pain of letting go
There will one day come a time
Your name won't shiver down my spine
I don't want to get over you
But the ground is wearing thin
I have stood here for so long
They'll put a statue where I've been
I don't want to get over you
But there's other worlds to find
Paralysed don't want to be
Preserved in absent company
