Music and lyrics by James Carrington
lyrics
Laughter, laughter loud inside my head
Getting closer, closer to welcoming my friends
So close now, it’s working somehow
But after the storm
When everybody’s gone
And only myself to turn to
That’s when it hurts
That’s when I revert
To writing your name on paper moons
Cos they move so clear like tears
And all they seem to say is why are you not here with me?
Lightness, brightness, pulling me to bed
Alright, sleep tight, the night is all but dead
So warm now, I made it somehow
But after the storm
When everybody’s gone
And only myself to turn to
That’s when it hurts
That’s when I revert
To writing your name on paper moons
Cos they move so clear like tears
And all they seem to say is why, are you not here with me?
In the pit of time when its always a moment away
In the darkest sky when your mind often seems to melt away
In the pit of time when its always a moment away
In the pit of time when its always a moment away
But after the storm
When everybody’s gone
And only myself to turn to
That’s when it hurts
That’s when I revert
To writing your name on paper moons
Cos they move so clear like tears
And all they seem to say is why, are you not here with me?
