nieves – broken oars lyrics
[verse 1]
the wind beat your father’s face
every mark with it’s own embrace
i’m here but i won’t replace
how could i anyway?
those times bred a harder man
a post+war child living mouth to hand
build of granite and grit and sand
but time erodes
[pre+chorus]
you brought in your lines
on hooks you made together
thin metal bent, intertwined
stale bread in paper bags
cared not that the days were dark
and the nights not better
your eyes welled as the boat would start
you could have stayed forever
[chorus]
you’re just breathing out, breathing in
it’s all you have, it’s all you’ve got to give
oh, i tried to be everything
couldn’t stop these walls from falling in
there’s not a memory you haven’t lived
there’s not a word that i can save you with
now the silence, it is deafening
must we break ourselves to start again?
[verse 2]
more time, she said
i love you more than life, i begged
but i can read your mind
so let’s dress up and we can go outside
over and over and over
we can’t live like this
the telly, the curtain, our union in bits
i won’t leave you now for the sake of the kids
but you don’t see me anymore
can’t you remember what we were before?
[chorus]
you’re just breathing out, breathing in
it’s all you have, it’s all you’ve got to give
oh, i tried to be everything
couldn’t stop these walls from falling in
there’s not a memory you haven’t lived
there’s not a word that i can save you with
now the silence, it is deafening
must we break ourselves to start again?
