Belle And Sebastian - A Politician's Silence lyrics

The cherry tree is broken The maple leaf is brown The wind is in the north east It's blowing through the town Morning is the mother She pulls you out of bed Noon is like the sister No hiding from the threat I want you for a lover I want you in the dusk Your thoughts are deep, unspoken Buried in your past The cherry tree is broken The maple is a lie The north east wind is building The people go inside I want to stay in this place Where thoughts are warm and bright I want to stay by your side And listen to your words The chaos is unbroken All the news is grim Feeds into the conscience Chase away the dream The cherry tree is broken The maple has blown down The water it is rising The power has gone out I want to find some respite From ignorance and lies I run from pa**ing strangers I run from evil eyes I need to take some shelter I look for you in storms I know you have a foxhole I know it's dark and warm I see you in the kitchen I see you by the fire Absorbing life's great stories Drinking from your eyes Drinking wine in goblets Knees tucked to the chin Sitting in a straw chair Hair like golden sun I'll love you in the firelight I'll love you in the dark I think one day I'll tell you That accidents can spark A trail of life's destruction A fissure of intent A comfort blanket hanging For every crisis spent I think one day I'll tell you I'll catch you from behind And cover eyes to trick you Guessing will decide
