a testament to endings - indulging in over-emotion and nostalgia - it was inspired by the view from the back window of my old flat and the little intricacies of day to day life that you appreciate more once they’re gone

lyrics

kitchen door creaks
tulips wilting in a jar
one last circle round the drain
one more night of rain
then we're away

a window overlooks a city
sunrise between the cranes
a reassuring flame
the might racket's falling to the floor
peace has been restored

time has a way of knowing
it's all used up, it's overflowing
but i've never been tied by time
and this is no end of mine

a temporary fixture
all life squeezed out
curtains drawn from dawn til dusk for now
while i shut down

these are happy tears
for the most part these were happy years

time has a way of knowing
it's all used up, the cracks they're showing
but i've never been tied by time
and this is no end of mine
