lyrics

lying on the top of the wall
you and your wasted boyfriend
stroking his hair
shielding his eyes
as the sunny day rolls away

i remember being cared for
when i did not care at all

you get up to leave
the breeze across the river is getting cold
he shivers and he pushes himself up
head aches, temples throb

i remember being cared for
when i did not care at all

a dragonfly can recognise
its shimmering black cross below

unfurling like a map
before your eyes
the skin roads and valleys
all leading down

it won't be today
tomorrow, the next day
or in a week

but
here i am
come to get my stuff
back from you
