The Oldest Part

Sitting by the side of the bed

I'm waiting for the sun to appear

I'm waiting for the sun to appear

A warm reflected beam on the back of my head

I'm like a child suddenly ageing

A child suddenly ageing

For the first time in a new way

I know my lover's lost for good

Know my lover's lost for good

For the first light of a new day

Is like stitches to a lethal wound

You are the oldest part of my heart

The oldest part of my heart

Plenty of time to muse on the things that you said

There's no way up the current

No way that would see me through

The things that show the most at the end of the day

Are all the things you don't do

All the things you never do

Down the corridors of our youth

I funnel back like a frightened snake

Funnel back like a frightened snake

If only I could be just a bit like you

You always give more than you take

Always give more than you take

You are the oldest part of my heart

The oldest part of my heart

I know you're somewhere out there

I know you're somewhere out there

I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere out there

You are the oldest part of my heart

The oldest part alive

The oldest part of my heart
