Hourly Radio - Deaf Ears lyrics

You can count out in whispers Keep measure of time and space for days For all your working out of figures I'll be cursed to lay awake When your best days come and go And those desperate fears take hold, you'll pray But your prayers fall on deaf ears tonight my love You keep reaching further and faster for something more You said no more words permitted Only shadows play could ever persuade Now the darkness falls all around you Suffer to know your cold hearts to blame
