Mother

Maiden aunt or brother

On the masonary, and there are others

Like you, beheaded lover

In the cemetery

Seems rather sad to me

Oh seems rather sad to me

Oh amour centenary

Available for all to see


But in between the morning and the evening light

Is how the days go by

And in between the evening and the morning light

Oh don't the stars look nice

But in between the evening and the morning light

Is how the days go by

And in between the evening and the morning light

Oh don't the stars look nice


At first the settings broke

Now the machinery stops

And the country's all sectioned off

Like a honeycomb

Oh cells and foam

Like separated bones

Have you been waiting for long?


Oh in between the morning and the evening light

Is how the days go by

And in between the evening and the morning light

Oh don't the stars look nice

In between the evening and the morning light

Is how the days go by

And in between the evening and the morning light

Oh don't the stars look nice


And oh, oh oh

Oh ain't it going well?

And oh, oh oh

But it's so hard to tell


It's like everything you never said

But always meant to say

It's like everything you never did

And did it anyway


But in between the morning and the evening light

It's how the days go by

In between the evening and the morning light

Oh don't the stars look nice
