The Cape Race - Bets lyrics

You were tied to this bed And you're tied to me Now you won't survive without one or the other So please chew through my limbs while you sleep We keep our numbers down, and a hush in our tones When it was December who knew we'd remember next year for the breaks in our bones Those clouds coming in are as grey as your skin In the lounge where the doctors and nurses swap blank stares for curses The high horses wait to make their moves With nothing left but red in both your eyes I hoped you'd be leaving soon So pull the curtains round and make with your goodbyes I hope you'll be leaving soon When summer arrived, we still got cold And the words moved back and forth across your tongue Winter's turning into Spring, I remember everything
