lyrics

Under his breath;
“What a nice change of scenery” he said
as she wrapped her arms so tightly ‘round his head
and pulled him in close, like a scarf on a winter night
What a nice change, such a nice change

Then the winter turned to spring
and the layers started stripping off with the heat
and they couldn’t keep the pavement beneath their feet
So they took to the sea, where they learned for her it was far too cold
but for him, he knew that he was home

He would be buried along with his name
He knew it all along
She would be married
God, what a shame

So she left him with the night
and a feeling so familiar
of a loss and an emptiness compounded by the frost
and another love fades,
just as the ones before it had
through a life of horseshoes and hand grenades.

She would be married
God, what a shame
She knew it from the start
He would be buried
along with his name
God, what a shame
