Gulf

From the album: Crippling Lack
Lyrics for Gulf
There is a gulf that I have opened Into which all your trust in me fell For every crime that I'm blamed for Every weakness in my bones Every death among these children Every day that I'm alone I bring to you no autumn joy The wind it whistles merrily The leaves are crisp and brown and dry Oh winter, winter won't you come on me I'm not so fond of talking When I left town it was in the storm of an argument I was a glass-eyed boy And I had cracked the glaze on my doll of china Amazingly the integrity remained intact The doll still stands but somehow much finer What I know about this feeling I knew before I met you It's simply that our meeting Has proven all of this to be true What I know about this feeling I knew before I met you It's simply that our meeting Has proven all of this to be true What I know about this feeling I knew before I met you It's simply that our meeting Has proven all of this to be true
