lyrics
She said you know, my heart left long ago
10 years you held my bones
stepped off my throne, on my knees I watched her go
when she stayed away I rose
she drifts by like a misplaced satellite
taking pictures of the world locked in her mind
but I was out of your mind
I stood alone in the rooms we never made a home
I just stood there and I froze
All that I own bears the life that you’ve disowned,
and my clothes hang on my bones
And I cried for the surreptitious dynamite
that sent you hurtling through the weightless outer-life
where I was out of your mind
10 years you held my bones
stepped off my throne, on my knees I watched her go
when she stayed away I rose
she drifts by like a misplaced satellite
taking pictures of the world locked in her mind
but I was out of your mind
I stood alone in the rooms we never made a home
I just stood there and I froze
All that I own bears the life that you’ve disowned,
and my clothes hang on my bones
And I cried for the surreptitious dynamite
that sent you hurtling through the weightless outer-life
where I was out of your mind

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
