Roddy Woomble - Tangled Wire lyrics

The days and months and years The minutes are creeping by Stretching further and further away From the day I arrived We head in a direction That I've faced a thousand times Only now my elbows are relegated To the pa**enger side And the rain fell like teeth against the window pane Click-clackiness all the way through the glen Trees lose their leaves Like books full of words they don't need Like a poet poisons plants on his windowbox Seed by seed But I've lived my life like a tangled wire It's hard to untangle what's inside To live your life like a tangled wire 'Cause some things don't need to be unwound With an arm for a pillow I can sleep away the miles 'Cause I know you won't stop driving Until we get to Kyle But there's a freedom in limitation That my role implies So we'll drive on through Skye And catch the boat to the Western Isles I'll let each breath in this while there collect into a sigh Let it hang between the cold sea water and the calm northern sky But you've lived your life like a tangled wire You can't untangle a road, you let it unwind To live your life like a tangled wire 'Cause some things you just can't unwind
