Gyde - Little Deaths Lyrics

I snuck out of the sermon
When the priest bowed his head
Left the dark of the churchyard
For the towpath instead
There you were beautiful
In that torn, too-tight school uniform
That your mum made you wear
Ran my hands through your hair

So we'd meet at the school gate
And we'd make our escapes
To the banks of the Mill Pool
From the Great Parks Estate
I covered the bruises well
Somehow I knew you could tell
You said you'd save me from him
Only time did us in

Shut my eyes on the bed though I know it's wrong
But my body's been dead ever since you've been gone
It's a sin to remember your breath on my neck
Baby, lying here, some nights it's a sin to forget
