It Breaks - Tunng

Milly passes from the swing

Runs home for her tea

Wants to twist her wedding ring

And sink in her settee

In the dark she asks aloud

If they can really see

But if you hold it carefully it breaks

(Eventually)

On a fairground ride they met

A boy who held her hand

For a moment he’d forget

And she would understand

But the bells inside her head

Were all that she could hear

But if you hold it carefully it breaks,

(Eventually)

We don’t give up easily

Drowning out the tide

Drawing black and bleeding sea

At least we stopped and tried

And the crows flock overhead

Moving restlessly

And when you hold it over me it breaks

(Eventually)
