Over for Tea

You used to come over for tea
But in fact you came over for me
Oh my, those days are long gone

When I took you with me upstairs
The floor of my bedroom is where
I played you my favourite songs

Yes it's true, I guess you knew, just what it meant to me
Given that I could never win your heart with bravery
But I knew just how to make you feel free

A childhood on cemetery walls
We'd stay out 'till my mother called
And come home with dirt in our hair

And the church bells high over our heads
Together we'd go see the dead
That was our take on truth or dare

And all I'm left with now are hazy photographs
In yellow raincoats walking down the garden path
Your hair was golden my brown eyes were holding on to you
I just hope that you're fine

Oh, I wish that I could tell you once again tonight
Some things that went down later on they were not right
But here's to you, forever on my mind
