lyrics

Won't Be Found By Looking

when the moon showed its dark side and still it shined bright when i had missed the boat that would carry me home and so i tried hunting i wandered through the meadows where the wild things go and i looked for a trace of where she might have slept and from where she might have left won’t be found by looking i walked to the southern rocks where we threw all our clothes off i hoped that perhaps she swam there still liquid and white and languid and fine there were two boys fishing i told them my wife was missing so we searched the shallows wet to our waists but what’s away to the waves won’t be found by looking it was only a moment and how i did throw it if they’re coming tomorrow i’ll make haste today and be swift on my way be swift on my way down to the beach house where the wind blew the fires out i pulled up the floorboards shone a torch up the chimney a starling’s nest but happiness won’t be found by looking oh the mornings can be dreadful when winter won’t wait i had a place i dug a hole i was set i was well prepared but chaos cuts corners and it comes so cruelly kindness is a kick goodness is gone all the memories got lost and won’t be found by looking and when the cold brings the toothache and the snow brings the colic and your footprints are skipping across the moors peaty and shining and the moon falls into the hills and no one is watching to be alone without you the black and the blue yes your touch left a bruise that won’t be found by looking
