Battery Point - Sardines Lyrics

Came through the gate
And kissed my cheek
'What's all this noise
Of which you speak?'
'There is no ghost
No hidden truth'
You stroke my hair
Your voice still soothes
The eyes are glazed
Like tunnels dark
Devoid of life
That vital spark
Picked up the phone
To make that call
No turning back
As time stood tall
Now darlin' I
Won't leave your side
Again
Now darlin' I
Won't leave your side
Again
She is not the one for you
And I will tell ya once again
This obsession you have held
Will be the death of you my friend
Can't you see the blatant flaw?
In this love that can't be named
Do you wish to lose your wife?
See your neighbourhood ashamed
It is not right what you desire
This thing that never can be yours
There is no protection for you here
On these strange and foreign shores
And for what worth?
Was this fight won
You count the scars
What's done is done
I tried so hard
To set things right
To push this love
Far out of sight
Far out of sight
Far out of sight
