It took a little while to recognise the pain
And it’s only burning wood, but I love the flame
I’d pay more attention if it cost a bit less
So I only took a little cos there’s not much left
I had an empire in a paperweight
But it dragged my under and sealed my fate
And I know I’ll be okay, but I’m not right now
I’ll work my way out if I can work out how
I won’t be great
But maybe I can just be grateful
Making a little living from a fable
Before I get laid down low
Show me the money
I promise I’ll trade every penny
Starting now for a century
Before I’m the last to go
And if not next year,
Then maybe next leap year
Well I’ve heard a lot of smart things in my life
Like you only need a parachute to skydive twice
And without bad luck I’d have none at all
So I’ll pack my chute and survive survive thefall
But I’ve got a good feeling walking down the road
Of a changing wind and and my heart rate slowed
Just little more time to figure it out
Four years more or thereabouts
I won’t be great
But maybe I can just be grateful
Making a little living from a fable
Before I get laid down low
Show me the money
I promise I’ll trade every penny
Starting now for a century
Before I’m the last to go
And if not next year,
Then maybe next leap year

The Last Page

Every room in this house is haunted
I’m quite taken by the view
It lies between the sand and the sea
I’ve got nothing else to do
It started with a bonfire
It’s ending with a twist
A hundred million paths can cross
But nothing quite like this
I know how this story ends,
So I’m not going to read the last page
A book left on the table
A gun left in the drawer
An hourglass I’ve never seen
I’m not hungry anymore
Don’t take me to the garden
I’ll watch the sea from here
We’re looking at the same moon rising
Up from different spheres
I know how this story ends,
So I’m not going to read the last page
