lyrics

How does it feel living alone
How do you breathe in a city so choked
Reckless and free to a point of no joke
When do the creeps in the street below wake you up

Up go the shutters, along with the dawn
Shop-keepers chew the fat on and on
Yellow lines keep the traffic at bay
But there’s a sound in the air that never goes away

Keep a grip on the reason for being there
Serendipity’s kind, she will care
Brevity levels the storm in your heart

This old home had seen better days
Now it’s for you to mend your old ways
Better alone than tied to the mast
Of an old boat that was never more than a raft

Keep a grip on the reason for being there
Serendipity’s kind, she will care
Brevity levels the storm in your heart

Water runs true once it has found
It’s own way through the cracks running down
Much like you, and those who regain
Every sense of self worth in your rudderless game

Keep a grip on the reason for being there
Serendipity’s kind, she will care
Brevity levels the storm in your heart
