lyrics

When the dull light of another morning breaks, its tiny broken pieces falling down like rain, on the street outside your house, the street lights flicker out. Last night's dreams retreating like a sunset slips into the bay, at the end of another endless day.

I don’t want to go, but I don’t want to stay. I don’t want to go, but I don't want to stay.

To wonder what it is to only be human, one eye on the road and the other in the rearview mirror, little worker bees dancing to the music that only they can hear. Every passing moment retreating like a sunset slips into the bay, at the end of another endless day.

I don’t want to go, but I don’t want to stay. I don’t want you to go, but I know you can’t stay.

When the last few drops of coloured light fade like autumn's flowers fall away, and the blanket of night is draped over the sky with its holes like shotgun spray, and these illusions of ourselves retreat like a sunset slips into the bay, at the end of another endless day.

I don’t want to go, but I don’t want to stay. I don’t want you to go, but I know you can’t stay.
I don’t want to go chasing your ghost, but I don’t want to stay away. I don’t want you to go alone, but I know you can’t stay, anyways.

David Stone recommends:

Virtual Heaven
by Infinity Crush

Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
