lyrics

YOUR ANNIVERSARY

On this day
I stay in bed
Clean out my head
Sort through the garbage

Into the grey
Things once thought dead
Have grown and spread
And now are thriving

I’ll have you know
It’s a place I rarely go
It isn’t good
To encourage the termites in the wood but

On this wretched date
I celebrate your anniversary
Though I wish you well
Can you not tell?
You’re my adversary

Cold winds start to blow blankets of snow
Are what you gave to me
God this time of year
Reminds me dear
Of when you went from me

What can I say?
I’ve done my best
My new friends would attest
To my good behaviour

Lately I’ve felt something change
And something rearrange
In my heart’s furniture

I’ll have you know
It’s a place where honeybees go
All through the year
Just when you thought they’d all bit disappeared

On this wretched date
I celebrate your anniversary
Though I wish you well
I tripped and fell
You were no friend to me

Cold winds start to blow blankets of snow
Are what you gave to me
God this time of year
Reminds me dear
Of when you what you gave to me

Let these chords ascend
Let them have no end
Wrap me up and bury me in music
