Jacqui Abbott - When It Was Ours lyrics

A Daffodil a rusty swing A broken bench where once sat King A mouldy doll looks to the stars And it was mine and it was yours when it was ours A withered tree where birds did sing A broken song upon the wing Those feathered hearts looked up to mars When it was mine and it was yours and it was ours It was ours when I was yours Before this place went on all fours Now it's under lock and key it isn't you it isn't me It's other couples falling walls It's other couples punctured balls No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs Now it ain't ours The conversation the whisper laugh Is overgrown like garden path The twisted branch the crooked stairs It was yours it was mine now it's all theirs The bicycle with buckled wheel Lays on the gra** like how we feel A sparrow dies then Eagle soars Now it's all theirs no longer mine no longer yours It was ours when I was yours Before this place went on all fours Now it's under lock and key it isn't you it isn't me It's other couples falling walls It's other couples punctured balls No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs Now it ain't ours Revisit graveyards pubs and clubs But don't go back to the place you love They quickly return to distant shores When they're not ours no longer mine no longer yours It was ours when I was yours Before this place went on all fours Now it's under lock and key it isn't you it isn't me It's other couples falling walls It's other couples punctured balls No wasp filled jars or last hurrahs Now it ain't ours
