Mezzanine - The Lucksmiths

I could sense the static

Must have been the season

Climbed into the attic

Looking for the reason

She came up to find me

Saw me in the rafters

Just stood there behind me

Asked what I was after

I thought she was stronger

She said «I'm a sparrow

I can’t stay here much longer

Up here it’s all hollow»

She took time in leaving

Said she must be going

Up here in the evening

I had no way of knowing

She’s day, I’m night

Is it wrong that I’m right?

In this loft I’m lying

Darkness starts me yawning

Dusk brings clouds on crying

Rain on eve and awning

Down there she is sleeping

Warm-lit fireside scene

She wakes to hear me creeping

Down from my mezzanine

This girl, this roof

This world is leakproof

This world, this roof

This girl is leakproof
