Never Leaving

from 50​/​90 2018 Demos by Frances Smith

lyrics

Comfort sleeps in dreams that live
beside the edge but will not jump
and I would watch the ocean move
while I waited for the love you said you had

And you would tell me you were frightened
and you would tell me you would be there
and you would tell me there was pride lost
and waiting here would not be living

Stars still seem like tiny lights
against the aching dark of night
and there's a ship that sails away
and here's a love that often fails

And you would tell me she was beauty
and you would tell me she was weeping
and you would tell me love was sleeping
and in the waking was a whisper

And it won't matter if I left here
or if I walked into that ocean
or if I flew to Benbecula
you would still be calling for me
because you're no freer than the anchor
that holds the boat in the harbour
and you would tell me that she needs you
and you would tell me that you'd be here
and you would tell me that the night won
and that this waiting leaves you feeling
like you are drowning in the running
because you're no freer than the anchor
that holds the boat in the harbour
and you're the one who sees the leaves fall
and you're the one who's never leaving
