lyrics

Oh Mother how we've changed
I no longer feel afraid
I was five years old when we first came here
Running from my brothers games
But now we come here barely twice a year
For Christmas, your birthday, something like that
Now your fathers in the hospital, so we come home.

So now i leave this city by the sea
The night and the things i love, to be washed away
Because we're pushed and pulled from the day we're born
down corridors and sliding doors, torn by the wind.

But maybe this time, maybe this time, I'll be good
Maybe this time, maybe this time, maybe the sun will rise where it falls
and my frozen heart will start to thaw
hear the voice of your father whilst you tidy his clothes
the voice of another at the end of the day, the end of the day
These days.

I guess these streets will never change
as I pass the grave where we once played, years ago.
but as i grew i lost some youth
this rootless town seemed strange to and I forgot my home

Now I'm coming back again
trees arc to block the sun from my gaze
I see my father, my brother, his wife wears black
and there you are.

I remember once you said to me
we're all just pebbles thrown to sea
we'll i've run aground

But maybe this time, maybe this time, I'll be good
Maybe this time, maybe this time, maybe the sun will rise where it falls
and my frozen heart will start to thaw
hear the voice of your father whilst you tidy his clothes
the voice of another at the end of the day, the end of the day
These days.

Oh Mother how we've changed
I no longer feel afraid
But we come here barely twice a year
