Words and music by roddy frame



Born on a junk heap in the sea

Cursed with the notion to be free

White and bright and twenty one

But in my heart i'm on the run

I kissed the lips of eau de vie

I tasted sugar and debris

But in the early morning light

I saw the day destroy the night



Life is a long walk home



Chorus:

Was it the moonlight

That left you gasping

Grasping, something, beyond a boy or a girl

Just let it all blow

Untie your heartstrings

No, don't cling to this phenomenal world



I lost my senses in the spring

Of someone's life that i left behind

And though i search through everything

A sense of loss is all i find

Her face is every work of art

She haunts the city high and low

But i can't live inside her heart

And so i had to let it go



And make my heart my home



Chorus
