Bets

Bets - The Cape Race

You were tied to this bed

And you're tied to me

You won't survive without one or the other

So please chew through your limbs while you sleep

We keep our numbers down

And a hush in our tones

Because when it was December

Who knew we'd remember next year

For the breaks in our bones

Those clouds coming in

Are as grey as your skin

In the lounge where the doctors

And nurses swap blank stares for curses

The high horses wait to make their moves

With nothing left but red in both your eyes

I hoped you'd be leaving soon

So pull the curtains round

And make with your goodbyes

I hope you'll be leaving soon

Oh

Summer arrived we still got cold

And the words moved back

And forth across your tongue

When summer arrived we still got cold

And the words moved back

And forth across your tongue

Across your tongue

Winter's turning into Spring

I remember everything

Everything

Winter's turning into Spring

I remember everything

With nothing left but red in both your eyes

I hoped you'd be leaving soon

So pull the curtains round

And make with your goodbyes

I hope you'll be leaving soon

Oh
