lyrics

…and we were living by the firelight, you know.
Lived in a circle, saw the ends meet.
God help me, I’m so lonely.
Don’t console me, you should know me now.

And when the candles think of petering out,
You shouldn’t leave me here with all of this doubt.
I’m just a thunderstorm in need of a drought.

But I need time.
And I know time.
It’s hard to tell the difference when you’re sitting on a balcony and
hiding all the rain from me.

You’re always better when you’re worse, dear, you know.
My life’s been longer than a day, dear.
So flood the night.

And when the shadows scream out before they drown,
Just cut my lifeline and then let me drift out.
If not I’m just breaking a tidal wave down.

But I need time.
And I know time.
It’s hard to tell the difference when you’ve locked me in and lost the key and turned out all the lights, you see.

I need time.
And I know time.
I’d rather take the ugly truth than beautiful dishonesty,
So lay those savage words on me.

You know.
It all just seems the same to me.
God help me.

about

Colonel Dax Wrexham, UK

Colonel Dax is an alternative rock/multimedia project based around the songwriting of Tom Hughes (let's drop the 3rd-person act. It's me writing this).

I champion the "homemade" approach, and therefore all Dax output is entirely self-produced.

The Dax live band are renowned for tight, fun and at times "explosive" sets.
