lyrics

I never knew that I was sitting down
Until I stood up on my feet.
I never knew that would miss you girl
Until you were walking away from me.
I can see it clearly now
My consolation isn’t the fix.
Even though this drawing out
I endeavour to persist.

I’m far away and I’ve got to get back again.
This black Mariah isn’t going to be my end.

I never knew that I was still asleep
Until my face done hit the ground.
Life like blood can move with just a beat
And without a sound
It will ribbon away.

I’m far away and I’ve got to get back again.
This black Mariah isn’t going to be my end.
I’m far away and I hope to see you, my friend
Sipping tea at the edge of this world’s end.

I didn’t know that I was bound below
Until the sun broke on my back.
I didn’t think it was time to go
Until they’d already sprung the trap.
These silver stairs on another day
Would have led me to the gate.
Now I’ll have to sit and wait
Or go the other way.

I’m far away and I’ve got to get back again.
This black Mariah isn’t going to be my end.
I’m far away and I hope to see you, my friend
Sitting pretty around the other side of the bend.
