The Clientele - Geometry of Lawns lyrics

Leaving came to us Just like a song A dull geometry of lawns The sense that you are still a stranger But we were born To fade away like light Looking sideways into life There is no reason we should stay here And I know you are listening to this song Late in a still room with your lover Now see that moon above the edge of speech As we flicker like a screen and we are gone Once a spell of grace Came over me And I walked on through empty streets Redbricks, sweat shops and madra**ahs Inside everything I heard a voice Mechanical, beyond itself Like the sentence of a dreamer And I know you are listening to this song Late in a still room with your lover Now see that moon above the edge of speech Out here beyond your reach I'm singing on
