Shields street Songtext

von Naked Raven

She looks like her mother
When her mother was young
Does her best to tell me what went wrong
Colour spreads from a little bruise
As silence fills this little room
She says she loves him

I lie still as the garbage truck rolls by
I forgot the bins again last night
The words you chose to tell me
Have turned in me all night
We used to hold each other
Now I can barely hold against the night

He catches the tram
With the morning crowd
Tries to lose himself well at least till five
Keeps a letter that means
More that it should
Mumbles to himself that next time
It will be for good

I always thought that we were close
But then i've never been
A very good judge of distance
Maybe you're right and maybe we do
Maybe we need to just talk it all through
And maybe there's been
Too much said as it is

The case you build against me
Has turned in me all night
