about

This is about not being ready to love, and realising many years later that you were once in that place without knowing it.

lyrics

THE LOVE THAT HAD NO ROOM TO BREATHE

My coat is made of paper
Woven through with words that touch the soul
You read it like a bible
But you were never meant to live by it alone
We didn't know... That we were searching for a rambling home

You found some tracks that I'd forgotten
Times when I was torn and didn't care.
You found a trail of witness to the bitterness and brine
But it was them that could not see... the light that glows beneath
And shines on
They lead you to believe that it was gone

Thinkin' I was following a pattern
Wondering if things I did were wrong
I was not young... but some things take a life time to understand
For one who's dreams were sold to the god of storms
For the safety of the bay
But now I know... from my travels on the seas...
That I loved you

Thirty years have passed since we were lovers
The sea drew breath ten thousand times or more
Maybe it's the way... maybe I can never tell you
That the love that had no room to breathe
Lives on.... lives on in this song
