Not Tonight

Every Saturday
I wait
For the footfalls
In the hall

Mother Mary
At the wings
And the ocean
Is upon us

Still wanna still run
nowhere out here
nothing moves at all
Wood Smoke
Joan and Quran
We light up by the loadin' sun

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 slipping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down

Gemstone
I remember
When the spark went flat
Wafer thin and
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 slipping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down

I stand on ceremony while the ship sinks
Put the iceberg in my tall drink
Waiting at the door like a lone pine
Talking about the war at the hotel

I stand on ceremony while the ship sinks
Put the ice berg in my tall drink
Waiting at the door like a lone pine
Talking 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 slipping on my tears
I'm burning all my candles down
