Frail Jonny - Brick & Slate lyrics

{Verse 1} You had the house at the end of the lane It was made of brick and slate Standing by your bookshelf I said desire makes us strong Didn't want to know, you didn’t want to know {Verse 2} Soldered down the center on the line that we had made It's more than a give and take I did not expect that love would take away my dreams I just thought it's what you do in your mid-twenties {Verse 3} You were tucked into the caverns of your coat I told you lies that turned you old You moved out to Portland and I went the other way Wе haven’t spoken since and I try not to feel ashamеd {Verse 4} Dreary in my memory I see that house of brick and slate It stands like the pillars of fate If I had not gone in and come out the other side Who knows what kind of blindness I'd have to hide Who knows what kind of blindness I'd have to hide
