lyrics

I STILL WRITE YOU LETTERS
I still write you letters
I just don’t send them anymore
And in the dark of my room they lie on the floor
And one day I’ll collect them
And I’ll unlock my door
And I’ll go to the mailbox
And I’ll mail them for sure
And you’ll learn what I’ve thought
For so many years
That you hammered me down
With the nails of your tears
But I don’t want you back, I think I’ve moved on
Cos I rent someone’s flat and I own my own gun
What’s there left to say, I’ll never get away
From all the pain inside
I know where you live but I won’t come around
Cos I can’t take the pain of hearing the sound
Of your voice as you say “You’re looking fine
Have you moved on in your life?
Cos I’ve moved on in mine”
What’s there left to say, I’ll never get away
From all the pain inside,
Now there’s nowhere I can hide
And the world is cold and dark,
I’ll ever get that spark, the one that lights my fire
Well maybe you were good for me
Or maybe it was fantasy
But you made me feel like my world was for real
And you took me away from the Play for Today
And you put them all down
Without making a sound
Maybe it was fantasy or maybe it was jealousy
But you went away despite all I could say
And the world seems so dark
Without you and your spark
That lit up my life for so long
So I’ll keep adding letters to that pile on the floor
Till I’ve lost all the truth
Of what happened before
And you’ve changed in my head
To something so blurred
That I don’t need to write one more useless word

Cloudland Blue Quartet Edinburgh, UK

A quartet in name only, initially influenced by Fripp & Eno's "No Pussyfooting" and The Velvet Underground's debut, songwriter & soundscaper David Reilly started musicking in 1977 by creating drones using sellotape on the keys of his dad's Bontempi Organ. The subsequent junk shop purchases of an electric guitar & fuzzbox and the acquisition of an old Beatles songbook, led him into songwriting... ... more
