Two days have passed
And all I want is to
feel better
They won’t be back
And a long weekend is coming up
I left the house
It was just to see you
For an hour
Hoping for two
I was short of breath
As I passed the doorman for a second time
And it rained all day
I don’t have a raincoat of my own
I then arrived
Ten minutes
early with no smokes
And I was broke
Without a smoke
All of the time
I thought I was crazy ‘cos you told me so
It was profound
Like the piano I was humbled by
Our tongues may have touched
But all I remember was your nose
And I suppose
Our eyes were closed
Two days have passed
And all I want is gone
For good this time
The Second Part – The Dears (2005)
I’ve seen The Dears perform this three times and the last time (5 July 05) an exhausted end-of-tour Murray Lightburn pointedly prefaced it with ‘and every word of this is true’. One of their best songs so far.
