Name: Straight after the Night was Over
Duration: P00H03M33S
Description: In many ways the first proper song I wrote. Everything before this was just training. I still love the images in this song, and was often wheeled out as the 'quiet 'song in our live sets, (and then drowned out by the audience chatter). Perhaps a bit too treacle for a sweaty pub audience, it works better here, with Andrew's double bass, and flamenco-style guitar.

lyrics

Straight after the Night was Over

It's the morning, silence waits on empty road
And in warning, ships in twisted light corrode
If I knew that, if I knew you were alright
Oh no, we'd walk the shoreline till l go.

Gunsmith passing, shoots at rockpools, breaking free
Beauty lasting, hand so slightly memories.
And I know that there are times the pleader spies
On you, you're not crying but I do...

Straight after the night was over, she hid herself away, I wouldn't
know what i could say, about her today.

As the evening, adores the wailing, graceless night
Forever facing, smiling domes in troubled flight.
I have waited, as I reflect our precious time
So long, I was the odd man, now I'm gone.

Straight after the night was over, she hid herself away, I wouldn't
know what i could say, about her today.
