Princes HWY - Custard

The Princess Highway

Was so quiet at the dawn

A highway with no-one on it

You can’t make it on your own

Have you thought of going home?

Leaving everyone alone

Don’t cry

Come inside

You can’t hide the fact my heart is melting by the fire

It’s true, it’s true, you never promised a happy every after

Cos you don’t know how

These childhood streets

Are wider and dryer than I remember

Down here is where we used to live

The phone rings but no one ever answers

It’s been ringing here for a thousand years

Don’t cry

Come inside

You can’t hide the fact my heart is slowly melting by the fire

It’s true, it’s true, you never promised a happy every after

Cos you don’t know how

And it’s now

You expect all the damage to start

When you’re digging around those parts

You said you’d never mention

Well it’s true

What they said that you put me through

I’m fine, how are you?

… and congratulations

Five years later

It must be getting close to dawn

I think of all those things undone

And all the places in the sun

And the shadows fall apart in time

I’ll be fine

But I can’t hide

The fact my heart is slowly melting by the fire

And it’s true, it’s true, I was never promised a happy ever after

Because you don’t know how

I know you don’t know how
