Written earlier this year in August for our friends Brenda & Paul and Herbie, Raffey and Patch xx

'Little Cuts'

The sky breathed and pulled you in
Who are we now you're gone
Cries of sorrow in the wind
No moving on, no moving on

A new star in the great abyss
Can't crawl out to reminisce
While you are oh so far from us
Little cuts, little cuts, little cuts of love

Forever fell and let you go
And tomorrow didn't keep her word
Time brought you here so long ago
But you were only borrowed

Who are we, who are we, without you
Lost and barely getting through
Who are we now you're out of sight
Looking for you in the light

Who are we as the days pass by
Longing just to hold you tight
The world stops in the hue and cry
Can't go back, can't say goodbye

Falling shadow, how it hurts
A new us in a shattered world
We were yours and you made us
Little cuts, little cuts, of love
Little cuts, little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
Little cuts of love
