lyrics

saw you struggle to light a cigarette
with your hand cupped tight and your eyes all wet
you flicked a flame that wouldn't catch
subtle shakes, the wind too fast

tree roots crumbling concrete up
and lung pushed leaves through lazy streets
the sun sets so much later now-
you cannot run from the day!

In the Long Light of the Failing Sun
you trace your shadow on the wall
its reach escapes your arms
it stretches up to stars

you fall asleep in the growing dark
gorging dawn, the sun, and stars
swelling through the window pane
sweeping up the glass it breaks

it wraps so tight around your chest
holds you like a tiny death
and bubbling up, your belly bursts
and you fall asleep

the terrible greatness of the day
goes far beyond our sight line
it's painful light, it's perfect life
it's all that you exist by

there's always sun in someones eyes!
you cannot live if you refuse to die,
and i refuse to die
at least i'll try
