about

A companion track to Northern Light on the Night Flight album, in which a man reflects on a love, 30 years on... this time, it's from the woman's point of view

lyrics

There’s a ghost out on the ocean
There’s a pillow on the floor
A lilac tear, a lipstick smear
A letter in a drawer
There are sheets of rain still falling
There’s a last October light
A bed of nails where hearts have failed
And never said good night

Roll away, roll away
From the sullen gloom of a forgotten room
That won’t let in the day
And you can’t keep deep water
You can’t keep deep water
You can’t keep deep water down

There’s a train runs through the heartlands
The smoke lingers in the sky
There’s shadow space where a soft embrace
Should have held a life
But the tales were misbegotten
And the stories got underhand
Love laughed and went, turned to contempt
Over the wet marshlands

Roll away, roll away
There’s a grudging kiss of an autumn mist
That might let in the day
‘Cos you can’t keep deep water
You can’t keep deep water
You can’t keep deep water down

The fields are ripe for harvest
Mirrored in a rainbow’s arc
The dogs lie still by the windowsill
I’ll walk them before it’s dark
And I will play my songs tonight
To friends of these northern lands
I just hope that boy was never spoiled
And somehow become a man

Roll away, roll away
Turn the stone, the undertones
Always let in the day
And you can’t keep deep water
No can’t keep deep water
You can’t keep deep water down
