Every Saturday
I wait for the footfalls
In the hall
Mother Mary at the wings
And the ocean is upon us
Still, I still run away
Out here nothing moves at all
Woodsmoke, Jordan cologne
We light up by the loading zone
Every night I count the cracks
Up on the backroom wall
Fall into the fault line
When I reach across to you
'Cause even when you're here
It's like there's no-one else around
I'm sleeping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down
Oh
Jenny Stone, I remember
When the spark went flat
With you finished
You were singing in your midnight black
Every night I count the cracks
Up on the backroom wall
Fall into the fault line
When I reach across to you
'Cause even when you're here
It's like there's no-one else around
I'm sleeping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down
Oh
Stand on ceremony while the ship sinks
Put the iceberg in my tall drink
Waiting at the door like a lone pine
Talk about the war at the hotel
Stand on ceremony while the ship sinks
Put the iceberg in my tall drink
I'm waiting at the door like a lone pine
Talk about the war through the night
Seems like they're all coming down
Or leaving
There'll be nothing, for no-one to believe in
'Cause even when you're here
It's like there's no-one else around
I'm sleeping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down
Oh
