From the recording The Hurt & The Humour
Lyrics
Cold is the night again
Of this desert state that I’m in
The warmth in my bones has gone
And left me with one final thought
The flicker of TV screens
The neon lights in the streets
The way we’re all happy here
Far away from what’s dear
And I feel homesick again
And I feel homesick again
My footsteps they echo out
Through the empty streets of this town
I thought I heard someone speak
But there’s no one ’xcept the rain in these streets
And I feel homesick again
And I feel homesick again
Can you be my way out of here?
This town is built on dead-ends alone
Can you be my diversion?
Lift me and dry these eyes
Don’t let loose of me
Dry these eyes
Cold is the night again
Of this desert state that I’m in
The warmth in my bones has gone
And left me with one final thought
