lyrics

Breathing Room

I think of you now,
Alone in that room,
With the perfumed fumes
Of old Sunday roasts
And pot luck lives
Blowing dry heat from the vent.

As snow scattered like ashes
Dashing against the wall,
Your children trudging home
With rosy cheeks in bloom.
Whilst yours withered
Like a snowdrop
Kissed by spring’s fierce bow.

Time to bow out,
With one last cigarette
Staining your hands.
A locked door,
The oven ajar
And the snow
Hammering
Hammering
Hammering
Trying to break through
The thin windowpane.
