lyrics

Every morning I look forward to seeing the pictures
Above the fire place, stained rugs and teeth
And all the years of moments that still haunt me

Wind and snow and rain
Buried up to our necks in shame
Clear glass on eyes that stare at nothing

Check under every stone on a pebble beach
For a hand that fits, for a future frame
Realisation like a cancer grows
And the smiles they slip through our fingers
From the faces in old photographs we see
When theres nothing left to forgive or forget
For the first time in years
I waited up just to hear your words
Hear your words

And through the greatness and the judgement
My skin has already loosened
The relief to feel exactly as I did back then

Wind and snow and rain
Buried up to our necks in shame
Clear glass on eyes that stare at nothing

Check under every stone on a pebble beach
For a hand that fits, for a future frame
Realisation like a cancer grows
And the smiles they slip through our fingers
From the faces in old photographs we see
When theres nothing left to forgive or forget
For the first time in years
I waited up just to hear your words
Hear your words

The shadows add to the wonderment
Until I go blind

Check under every stone on a pebble beach
For a hand that fits, for a future frame
Realisation like a cancer grows
And the smiles they slip through our fingers
From the faces in old photographs we see
When theres nothing left to forgive or forget
For the first time in years
I waited up just to hear your words
Hear your words

Matthew Dunn Cardiff, UK

I am a singer songwriter from Cardiff, Wales and I’ve been writing songs since I joined my first band at 16. My influences include Manic Street Preachers, Seattle Grunge, Springsteen etc. My music varies from riff heavy rock to piano driven pop with the one constant being my love for an anthemic chorus. I write, record and mix everything myself in my home studio in Cardiff ... more
