[00:11.84] We lended our heavy hearts,
[00:16.91] motors with broken parts,
[00:21.97] we had a deck of cards it was a start.
[00:28.78]
[00:31.91] We'd sit out in the sun,
[00:36.78] and wait for our skin to turn,
[00:42.08] you would ask for truth,
[00:44.41] and I would look for something to burn.
[00:50.66]
[00:53.53] Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
[00:58.60] the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June.
[01:03.53] Oh to live in a paper house again,
[01:09.42] where we grew by the light of the moon.
[01:14.73]
[01:22.53] Often we took the train,
[01:27.07] the sky pacing white to grey,
[01:32.42] when you or I would leave
[01:35.97] and the other would stay.
[01:40.91]
[01:42.47] We were all that we had
[01:47.11] and breathed in each others words,
[01:52.35] I would ask for truth and
[01:54.87] you'd look for something to burn.
[02:01.25]
[02:04.00] Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
[02:08.74] the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June.
[02:13.82] Oh to live in a paper house again,
[02:19.88] where we grew by the light of the moon.
[02:25.02]
[02:32.81] You were much younger then,
[02:37.62] younger than I am now,
[02:42.49] I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow,
[02:51.45]
[02:52.50] I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow.
[03:00.44]
[03:09.07] Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
[03:13.90] the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June.
[03:18.96] Oh to live in a paper house again,
[03:24.95] where we grew by the light of the moon.
[03:30.53]
[03:55.41] Oh you know what you are to me
[04:02.77] and you know you will always be.
[04:11.83] End
