Lyrics

In the last gasp of your heart A song you couldn't sing The words were far too old The tune was paper thin But when you were a girl This song was fresh and loud You chased it round the school yard You rode it like a cloud The birds amongst the rafters They knew the song by heart They loved to hear your laughter They sang the house apart I heard of you from others But others loved you less I climbed inside your records I climbed inside your dress I'm seven steps behind you I'm gathering your breath I am the jar of echoes I am the silent death In the last gasp of your heart A song you couldn't sing The words were far too old The tune was paper thin But when you were a girl This song was fresh and loud You chased it round the school yard You rode it like a cloud
