not moved by them [repeat 3rd line intro] x3

[ then 4th line ]

2.

with my own hands when I make

love to your memory

its not the same I miss the

thunder I miss the rain

and the fact that you don't understand

casts a shadow over this land

* but the sun still shines from behind it

[third line of intro x 3, then 4th line of intro]

3.

thanks all the same but I cant

bring myself to answer your letters

its not your fault but your

honesty touches me like a fire

the polaroids that hold us together

must surely fade away

like the love that we spoke of forever on saint swithins day

[outro]:

[intro lines, then end on a C]

*in the 2nd verse, the last line goes :
