My Surpirse

lyrics

My Surprise

Watching the dawn arise,
It stains red these clothes I'm wearing,
This handle holds my surprise,
(But) By now I'm beyond caring.

Nothing but smoke in my eyes,
These grey clouds and watery skies,
I am reminded that nothing lasts for ever,
But still, my surprise.

Swirling head to match this glass,
Time stops, but steams on ahead,
They moved so slowly but talked so fast,
I watched the stains on our bed.

Blue lights and voices raised,
Running but being cornered,
This note was my life erased,
More than you could be bothered.

Nothing but smoke in my eyes,
These grey clouds and watery skies,
I am reminded that nothing lasts for ever,
But still, my surprise.

Swirling head to match this glass,
Time stops, but steams on ahead,
They moved so slowly but talked so fast,
I watched the stains on our bed.
