Where’d you go my blue eyed saviour?
Where’d you go my darling one?
Lying on that field of honour,
not sure what you’re waiting on.
And she won’t let him through the door.
Her mind is ticking through those tumbling years,
the one’s he promised he’d be there for.
She says, “hope: the belief that loved ones will never die”.
I’ve never heard such nonsense,
I’ve never heard such lies.

What to do with our sputtering engine?
What to do with our fading star?
Leaving us to wander freely,
trying to find out where we are.
And I can’t bear to see him go.
There is just too much left on the table.
There has been too much left alone.
She says, “hope: the belief that loved ones will never die”.
I’ve never heard such nonsense,
I’ve never heard such lies.

Listen to my wide eyed bundle.
Listen to them assail the night.
Lost again in their caves of wonder,
leaving us alone outside.
And I can barely stand the simple pleasure,
each breath carrying just a little more weight.
As I bend to adjust the comforter
I think, “hope: the belief that loved ones will never die”
I’ve never heard such nonsense,
I’ve never heard such lies.
