lyrics

I will rustle your lashes loose after we have travelled
Like the leaves from the trees when Autumn unravels
I will pinch them in my tips and place them on my lips
Stoop down and kiss you on the cheek, sweetheart
Stoop down and kiss you on the cheek

And every day I'll show you something else
To make you feel better about yourself
The letters will fly over the sea
And I will write you without poetry, sweetheart
I will write you without poetry

Sweetheart let me tell you something you don't know
Sweetheart when I'm with you I wish I didn't have to go
Sweetheart, I wish that I didn't have to go

I will measure the weight of your heart in tonnes
I will write about the rain and that one day of Glasgow sun
I've got forty years left in this skin
When my plane arrives watch it roll in
When my plane arrives watch it roll in

Sweetheart let me tell you something you don't know
Sweetheart when I'm with you I wish I didn't have to go
Sweetheart, I wish that I didn't have to go
