lyrics

Why do you fear
all the things you fear?
You're just a bird
circling round a sphere
It must be strange to feel you're at an end
And you're invisible to your dearest friend

I write to you now
as the dawn breaks upon the bough
I hope that you're good
and have all the peace you should
I can't make sense of all your wordless hurt
but I hope the black dog's silenced in the dirt

What will I do
when life catches up with you?
You're the crumbling wall
around which the ivy grew
It grows on still and hides my world from view
What will I do?
