not moved by them [repeat 3rd line intro] x3
[ then 4th line ]

with my own hands when I make
love to your memory
its not the same I miss the
thunder I miss the rain
and the fact that you don't understand
casts a shadow over this land
* but the sun still shines from behind it
[third line of intro x 3, then 4th line of intro]

thanks all the same but I cant
bring myself to answer your letters
its not your fault but your
honesty touches me like a fire
the polaroids that hold us together
must surely fade away
like the love that we spoke of forever on saint swithins day
