lyrics
Four more days of rain beating down
Four more days of the grass flat against the ground
Four more days like runaways waiting to be found
And all that I'll look upon is you
I grasped for words and you grasped for your life
We grasped each other in a bid to survive
Three more days to graze and grip your sides
For all that I'll gaze upon is you
You were caught hold like a fox in a trap
But no bared teeth no hackles raised upon your back
Warm hands, warm heart - two more days you'll be my shield against attack
And all that I'll look upon is you
In a way I'll be glad to be gone
Away from your body and the shrill birdsong
The dismay, the clarity, that I've never been wrong
When all that I've looked upon was you
