Seventy Two
Alex should I run away
For my strength and for my health
Or Alex should I stay at home
Give my time to something else
You sit there like your father
Reading from your fathers stoic shelf
Option A was never yours
I see the bed you made yourself
Alex I can't hold my words
Hold my fire, hold my breath
Alex I'm a bursting stream
The water breaches comes to rest
Alex I can't pray to god
Seventh day in Sunday best
But Alex I could save myself
Hang my head and live again
Winter creeping through the walls
Insulation put to test
I couldn't breathe the first few nights
The freezing air and all the rest
I feel like you would know me if
I staying inside the shed all year Maybe your as scared as me
Or Seventy-two ate your fears
I hope seventy-two ate your fears
Alex I can't fall asleep
What if the words escape me there
The Navy closed the lighthouse
I'm leaving for The Skye my friend
For my strength and for my health
Or Alex should I stay at home
Give my time to something else
You sit there like your father
Reading from your fathers stoic shelf
Option A was never yours
I see the bed you made yourself
Alex I can't hold my words
Hold my fire, hold my breath
Alex I'm a bursting stream
The water breaches comes to rest
Alex I can't pray to god
Seventh day in Sunday best
But Alex I could save myself
Hang my head and live again
Winter creeping through the walls
Insulation put to test
I couldn't breathe the first few nights
The freezing air and all the rest
I feel like you would know me if
I staying inside the shed all year Maybe your as scared as me
Or Seventy-two ate your fears
I hope seventy-two ate your fears
Alex I can't fall asleep
What if the words escape me there
The Navy closed the lighthouse
I'm leaving for The Skye my friend
