about

"No One There I wrote at my parents’ house just after my Mum had died and I hear her in that song." (MWP)

lyrics

The pale sun leaves weaker shadows
As daylight wanes and gives in to the dark (dark dark dark)
People hurry into buildings for secret meetings
As the gates close in the park (park park park)

Behind the curtains silhouettes are disembodied
Dancing in the frame (frame frame frame)
And with all the conversations over
The quiet freezes like they never came (came came came)

Pull me up from deep inside this pillow
Feathers soft I lay my head in sorrow
There’s caverns dark and then there’s eyes that stare
And I hear fingers snapping but there’s no one there

Once upon a time with all the world before me
I moved toward the sun (sun sun sun)
But all that brightness, left me sightless
Made it hard to see where I had gone (gone gone gone)

And finally the simple questions
Turned into the ones you shouldn’t ask (ask ask ask)
And still the sharks have fools believing
As all forget the troubles in the past (past past past)

But fear is just an ugly face, who cannot
Win…unless you choose surrendering
Your value drops if you let go
You must hold on
The game is short but the lie is long

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Pull me up from deep inside this pillow
Feathers soft I lay my head in sorrow
There’s caverns dark and then there’s eyes that stare
And I hear fingers snapping but there’s no one there
