lyrics

Abstain from caffeine, early to bed
Head in a good book already read
A woodpigeon hoot - disturbed by foxes
Rustling for food under battered old boxes

My city eye wide awake this chill night
Tired and lonely, and doesn't know why
When you've done all the right things and said all the right words
It never comes clear, it's always a murmur

All of those stark miles, under the foot
Nothing gets nearer, the conveyor is stuck
When not one soul notices an absence of progress
I'll be giving side-eye while looking for egress

These daffodils poke their heads through the snow
Well, whyever not, they've nowhere to go
You do all the right things and say all the right words
It never comes clear, it's always a murmur

Might never come clear, it's always a murmur
