Lisa Hannigan - Venn Diagram

Lyrics

I have lost you to sleep again.

Sleeping as we do on opposite sides of a venn diagram

I read the time in shadows on the wall

The shards of light through the slats on your window

I ease myself from under your languid arm,

Fumble on my boots and hear you breathe through your alarm I disarm it for you,

You rarely heed it anyway I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream,

School bell ring messing up the play

A note,

Penned clumsily in this century's type-ruined hand

Saying gone down the shops for a walk I'll bring back some sandwiches

And then I kiss your face, the black and the blue tie it into my laces,

I don't want the wander blocking up the view

I stumble out into the afternoon.

Still salty from drink and the late night pool I'll be gone an hour at most,

You will be more diagonal I've a head on me in the post,

I know, a castle swallowed in the swell.
