lyrics

DARK FORCE IN THE WINTERTIME
You’d never have known what the good days meant without these to measure against I hold my breath and the candle flickers the shadows move gives me the jitters and like a spider in the rain my thoughts will slide and we don’t beg we expect forgiveness and what if there’s no willing witness how you supposed to know you’ve had a life hey you with the long face where you going the cemetery is over flowing you’ll be welcomed like a Christmas tree on Jan the 8th icy winds attack my fillings not just my it’s my mind receding looking for some flimsy truths to stand behind you wait for your first kiss bird falls from a tree you’ve only just got here but you’re leaving already you’d never have known what the good days meant without these to measure against it’s starting again it’s started again well you’re an only child not the anti Christ hang in there till summer nights and be happy as the cat just sleeping in the sun corky’s knocked me out the darts gutless drivel storms the charts dark force in the winter time well you just cant get a damn thing done measuring trees for me well hung daft thoughts in the winter time well I hold my breath and the candle blows out I got less people to care about dark force in the winter time.
