Nobody - Shearwater

His little hook

Your little eyelid

The iris dilates while the heart implodes

And when he comes

And you’re dreaming

His mouth still denies what your heart just knows, oh no

Nobody would ever have known

No light in the dark would have shown

How you would reply

When the bombs finished falling

And ashes were drifting along the roads

Little child, how you lifted your eyes to the air

And the ancient shapes of crows

Nobody would ever have known

No hand and no eye could have shown

How you would reply

Oh no

Nobody would ever have known

No light in the darkness would have shown

How you would reply
