The Wrong Idea

There are too many holes written into this script
Did I end my hibernation for a winter flit?
There were cracks overhead, there was a howling wind
There was no other life to confide in
Then you pulled away the creepers, you stroked my hair
You nursed a flicker of confidence until it shone red
There are too many holes written into this script
I’ve always lived alone, now can I handle it?

I’m feeling shaky now, gonna spill my guts
I can be pretty smart for an idiot
Oh, save me the time that I waste to get the wrong idea

Day after day just us in the warmest blue
I never thought of the cave I’d return to
There were stars exploding outwards, you could smell the rain
Our past weighing heavy, I will bear the strain
Once the magic was gone we had nothing left
Little to share in our safety net
Still day after day just us in the warmest blue
Until I realised the cave was you

I’m feeling shaky now, gonna spill my guts
I can be pretty smart for an idiot
Oh, save me the time it takes to get the wrong idea
Oh, save me the time that I waste to get the wrong idea

Getting the wrong idea
Getting the wrong idea

Oh, save me
Save me

Wonderful album, you can tell how much care was put into it. I must also add my thanks to Brooke, for the lovely note she left with my purchase, that was quite the wonderful surprise. (too bad I missed the Claimed by the Sea CD, I hope you'll re-release some one of these days) I will definitely keep an ear out for what you release next. L'Agache

It's just so harmonic and calming music. It let's you pass over into the world of dreams and back. theholypumpkin

Spare, mainly acoustic and ambient instrumentation wash around Brooke Singer's breathy ethereal vocals. If you're mad for Kate Bush, try this out. agutterfan
