lyrics

I used to count the time - since I last saw you
Since I last spoke your name
I turn the pages brittle with age
And I memorise each word the ink and the space
Each time I hope for a different end

But there’s nothing new here - I'm searching - it's unclear
I make a space for you
Send the messenger - deliver - deliver

You watch me - watch me kneeling on the ground - my hands in the dirt
The overgrowth - but I can’t find you here
How long - how long I wish for the spring - tend the ground
I’m summoning - wild flowers in to bloom

And I’m - hoping - you’ll see - I’m listening - speak to me
I make a space for you
Send the messenger - deliver - deliver

The rain it fell without a sound
The sun it broke on through the clouds
The sky fills with colour and I see much more now

And I know it - you’ll see - I listen - you speak to me
I make a space for you
Send the messenger - deliver - deliver
