about

A synthpop/trip hop song about a fraught long distance relationship (very pre-internet).

lyrics

When I got your letter
we were in the middle of a dance
walking a fine line
stopping just short of romance

Drowning my sorrows
tears falling on the page
you’re fighting the good fight
I’m rattling my gilded cage
where are you now?

I’m lost in the garden of your words
every platitude a weed
every ‘I Love You’ a bed of roses
prick my finger, do I not bleed?

I put on a brave face
Take up causes and take down names
I am lightness I am mercy I am grace
but I'll never be the same

The girl that you left won’t be here if you return
I can’t find my stance on a world that refuses to turn
where are you now?

I’m lost in the garden of your words
every compliment a weed
every ‘I Love You’ a bed of roses
prick my finger, do I not bleed?

I think you want a statue
patient as a stone
but I’m only human
flesh and bone
yeah I’m restless flesh and bone

I can’t read your words through
the tears falling on the page
you’re fighting the good fight
I rattle my gilded cage
where are you now?
