lyrics

Well I wish I'd said something a little more than 'see you around'
when you turned your shoulder to my side, that final time.
But those three words were all that I could find to say,
a far cry from the three we used to say.

Where once I saw storm clouds gather, to harvest our tears for raindrops,
now I see blue skies.
But they're so far away from this shingle beach I have all to myself,
In the cold morning light of summer's end.

Oh, I know that this new shadow on my mind is here to stay.
Oh, I know that this new shadow on my mind is here to stay.

And there's a thousand places that I could be,
but there's so few that aren't tied to a memory.
So here I am, this non-descript roadside cafe,
somewhere on the motorway.


Oh, I know that this new shadow on my mind is here to stay.
Oh, I know that this new shadow on my mind is here to stay.

Oh, I know that this new shadow on my mind is here to stay.
Oh, I know that this new shadow on my mind is here to stay.
Oh, I know that this new shadow on my mind is here to stay.
Oh, I know that this new shadow on my mind is here to stay.

The Morning Shift London, UK

The band’s lyrics discuss life, love and loss, reveling in the melancholy and the everyday beauty of the mundane. ... more
