There you were, you say

from Demos 50​/​90 2019 by Frances Smith

lyrics

Tampering with strands of gold
lying there too soft to hold
peaceful in the walls, and windows
glazed the world outside

And it shines untouched by anything
or anyone, or any time, and anyway
was strong enough to last this long
and sweet enough to carry on

Chorus
Well there you were, you say
and I remember you
but I never knew what it was
that you were anchored to
and you fell, you fell
but I never heard
because I had fallen too
and it's so quiet down here
and there you were, you say

There are birds up in the sky
they hunt for space and land and food
and their's is a song that disappears
and this is just the sound you hear

repeat chorus
