Tindersticks - Patchwork lyrics

I know it's wrong

I know it's selfish

YOU'VE SUCH A SHORT LIFE

You've so little time

You know this pattern

Patchwork of any direction

Cobbled together

In odd shape and size

Take my hand, we'll walk through this together

But my hand gets sweaty

You somehow slip away

Try to call you, but I don't call too loud, no

Try to love, and never look that hard

Chorus:

Cos this blue's a swirling ocean

The green, the ambition

The red is the guilt

There's a lot of red

I know it's wrong

I know it's selfish

Such a short life

So little time

Try to call you, but I don't call too loud, no

Try to love, but never look that hard

(Chorus)

The yellow is my sunshine

Comes out on odd occasion

Barely enough to keep you around
