Lyrics

To be weathered
beaten by the Sun
It's just a window in the attic of a house You used to know the name of the street and the people in the town that were
dying to meet you
He's a temperamental boy
Never knowing if he's coming or he's going
or lighting a fire in your heart
to be weathered and beaten
by the
Flame

You were wrongly suggested;
arranged to be married to a man you've never known
It's on the front page news and
it's news to you
So, you walk down to the water
alter your reflection with a stone
stand and watch the ripples carry on

You say there is a burning in your heart
You've been waiting
You keep waiting to
Set this town on fire

Half-tame
Gambling around the table
With your pennies and your dimes
Whiskey water
White man poison
You take their money and
They'll take your life

You say there is a burning in your heart
You've been waiting
You keep waiting to
Set this town on fire

To be weathered
beaten by someone
It's all been locked up in the attic
of that house
you used to know
