Ladye Bay

You wake up rolling your bowling ball head

Been micro-dosing a feeling of dread

These days, when you relax

It's like a building's collapsed

You can't hold it all up

You wake up under a layer of dust

The calendar you've started to distrust

Says what a laugh, you are here

The second half of the year

And where have you been?

But I feel closer to young

Than I do to old and grey

And my head was full of mud

Like the sea on Ladye Bay

But your love grew like a song

And the music carried me

I was lost in what I'd lost

When the one thing that I need

Was still at my side

You wake up longing for life as before

You'll get a stick and keep poking that corpse

Now and then, just a bit

And you hope for a twitch

But it will not rise (but it will not rise)

The sun is up and your bed weighs a ton

Buried in lists of things you have not done

But you scream, from it's jaws

"Yesterday was yours, but today is mine"

But I feel closer to young

Than I do to old and grey

And my head was churning round

Like the sea on Ladye Bay

But your love grew like a tree

Where my soul so heavy leaned

I was lost in what I'd lost

When the one thing that I need

Was still at my side

So, I held on tight

The sky was like a feast

And the sun was saying grace

What a masterpiece

What a perfect day

But I feel closer to young

Than I do to old and grey

And my head was full of mud

Like the sea on Ladye Bay

But your love grew like a prayer

When I was down on my knees

I was hooked on what I'd lost

When the one thing that I need

Was still at my side

So, I held on tight
