lyrics

The Chalice


It’s so hard to feel my own heartbeat
When I’ve written you into my life
And, in heaven, I knew where you came from
Made me trip and fall onto your knife

And, in truth, I have felt my own failings
And the pain of becoming your ghost
And, for sure, I knew not that you loved me
But I thought that you liked me the most


And I wonder what the spirits will say
When they drink their drinks and start to sway
Will they say “Well she tried her best,
But the river ran from the forest”
And they will say “It’s such a shame
To lose the plot and draw the game”
But forever’s not what it used to mean
And you’ll never know what we’ve never been

Da da dada dada etc.



And maybe there is no way out
But to raise the chalice to your mouth
And drink until you feel the truth
The way it felt within your youth

Cos I will never take your name
But I will never be the same
I don’t feel the fight inside no more
But you’ll need the ball
If you want to score


Dad a dada dada etc.
