Lyrics

[00:02.15] And when she blows the candle flame to smoke
[00:05.51] She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
[00:14.32] And Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the road
[00:20.36] You may know what I am
[00:23.41] But who I am you don't know
[00:26.65] She'll run across the mustard dust sand
[00:30.05] Scream down the wind
[00:32.54] And the sea is in a cold
[00:35.23] Like when in holiday homes
[00:38.85] And houses like sweet confectionary
[00:43.63] And sandcastles and drinking wine
[00:46.64] And hungry dinners perfectly timed
[00:49.70] And mother and father glowing young
[00:52.99] Happy to be each other together
[00:55.94] When she blows the candle out
[00:58.64] She goes to bed and lies and drags through her head
[01:03.42] The day that went way of every day
[01:08.04] But tomorrow she'll fly a plane
[01:11.44] Over the fields where the houses aren't built yet
[01:15.48] She smiled sweetly across the room
[01:19.13] Through the lunchtime smoke
[01:21.99] And I loved her for a second
[01:24.88] And discarded the queen and I know
[01:27.98] How sweetness turns sour
[01:31.25] And leaves they turn to brown
[01:34.48] And then to earth and dust
[01:37.18] And then settle in this town
[01:41.09] You get blown away...
[02:18.54] And when she blows the candle flame to smoke
[02:21.77] She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
[02:30.87] And Monday she'll go down town standing naked in the road
[02:36.79] You may know what I am
[02:39.50] But who I am you don't know
[02:42.60] She smiled sweetly across the room
[02:46.01] Through the lunchtime smoke
[02:49.05] And I loved her for a second and discarded the queen and I know
[02:54.84] When men are being little boys again
[02:58.00] And women cruel stepmothers of old
[03:01.46] And this is the invention
[03:04.11] The adventure of my own
[03:08.05] You get blown away...
