lyrics

Curious, radical friend
Did you forget my name?
Cos’ my life’s suspended in time
’til I might see you again
The first time we marched by the dock we were only 18
The fight lost, the irony grim
The sadness since moved in with me
Dubious, benevolent friend
Did you forget my face?
Cos I’ve been denying too long
Convictions I’m trying to trace
The first time we fought for our lives
We knew we might burn
Now my life’s suspended in time
til that understanding returns
I saw the cloud above Taiji
A sorrow that
Swallowed you whole
saw you go under
A thousand times stronger than me
I saw a window
flat ironed to their backdrop
a sleek 2 dimensional world from a laptop
and I’m
Suspended in time
Waiting for you
and for the screws to start loosening
I’m ready to roam
I’m calling you Home

The first time we fought for the sea
We knew we might drown

The fabric of all that we love
Washed up in the fuel of our row
I’ve seen a cyclone in waiting
In blurs of indifferent dreams
you’re trying to contact a
dull and illogical me
Oh! for a chance to regain our vitality
Look for the view that will lead you right back to me
I’m
Suspended in time
Waiting for you
And for the truth to start moving us through
Into the streets
People proceed
Gaining in numbers and power and speed
We need you here -
I feel you near
