When they ask me where I'm bound I say I'm taking the long way round Over water, fire, and unfamiliar ground Just to find what I'd already found
I learnt the tricks, all the secrets and signs, How to view the darkness as light The regret or releasing what you owned It's a feeling that comes and goes
And I remember your head perched and yawning Breath warm with coffee and the morning How the sun hung heavy and golden How all the days lay open and unfolded
You sang to the songs that leaked through the curtains From the band that called in every morning Filling the gaps between the traffic and the birds You knew all the tunes but never the words
('Memories of You' snippet)
When they ask me where I'm bound I say I'm taking the long way round Over water, fire and unfamiliar ground Just to find what I'd already found
