Unkind And Unwise

Lyrics

He was brought up in a house of women In a city of heat that gave it's children Faith in the fable of coral and fish Told them the world was something to miss I turn to hold you, you're gone Fingers let go, I'm gone That's just a little unkind And just a little unwise That's just a little unkind And just a little unwise The salt in the wind moves over the mudflats Sticks to your skin and rusts up the lights Blows through the ferns that breathe in the dark I try to forget but it's so hard I turn to hold you, you're gone Fingers let go, I'm gone That's just a little unkind And just a little unwise That's just a little unkind And just a little unwise What was once is a falling star; It'll hit you and hurt you and open your heart Burn in a river tangled with reeds While a crane on the water silently feeds I turn to hold you, you're gone Fingers let go, I'm gone That's just a little unkind And just a little unwise That's just a little unkind And just a little unwise (repeat till cicadas join in the fun)
