lyrics

you gave me your smile
you had reasons for aching
but still you were kind
and I don’t know why

you chased me away
from my feelings of ageing
to the fields of the sun
where there's nowhere to hide

I roam along this riverbed
all alone
lost in the aftermath
like an undertone
home is where I want to be
won’t you take me home
I’m trying to heal a broken bone
with mercurochrome

my satellite’s flown
my new moon is eclipsed by
an invisible sun
and the comets fly

I think that I know now
but I feel that I’m lost though
I’m hoping to fly but
I just get by

I roam along this riverbed
all alone
lost in the aftermath
like an undertone
home is where I want to be
won’t you take me home
I’m trying to heal a broken bone
with mercurochrome

I’m dreaming these dreams
that rattle my reason
and open my heart
to the things I hide

There’s noone I know
can tell me the answer
can answer my call
will I ever love

I roam along this riverbed
all alone
lost in the aftermath
like an undertone
home is where I want to be
won’t you take me home
I’m trying to heal a broken bone
with mercurochrome
