Smaller - Alison Moyet

Gone, simple days

Single ways to run

Tripping over the rubble of new roads begun

And I’d follow you then, like a dog at your heel

Wishing only to borrow the freedoms you’d steal

I turned back as the crowd enveloped you

Scarlet finery

Oh just look at you now

Oh, just look at you now

How is the truth so distracted

When love sports its favours like medals

And takes well enough

You gave to me selflessly, sinew and bone

Grown bigger than you who yet carries me home

Hair still black, and your back is steel

With your every word tasted

Oh, just look at you now

Oh, just look at you now

I used to dance to the drum in your chest

My feet on your feet, my head at your breast

You gave me a tune and I carry it still

And i promise my darling

That I ever will

I turned back as the crowd enveloped you

Scarlet finery

Oh just look at you now

Oh, just look at you now

And I can’t look at you now
