lyrics
Saigon
Your hands are weathered and dry
You wiped down the walls
And you bleached the sky
A pain in your back since 87
The roses have since never looked the same
An unpaid service just for the love
Us kids are fine, us kids are fine
You say there’s not enough money
And not enough to keep the colour in your eyes
Come back and
Continue to colour
To the outlines
Of our lives
Even though we talk it’s not the same
I need to refresh the memory of your face
Dust lies in every crease you made
A flash back to youth pulled you away
In a crowded boat you crossed the waves
Old blood at home new life was made
They never knew how far you’d stray
Only to return to your birth place
Come back and
Continue to colour
To the outlines
Of our lives
I tried so hard
To make it easier on you
Your hands are weathered and dry
You wiped down the walls
And you bleached the sky
A pain in your back since 87
The roses have since never looked the same
An unpaid service just for the love
Us kids are fine, us kids are fine
You say there’s not enough money
And not enough to keep the colour in your eyes
Come back and
Continue to colour
To the outlines
Of our lives
Even though we talk it’s not the same
I need to refresh the memory of your face
Dust lies in every crease you made
A flash back to youth pulled you away
In a crowded boat you crossed the waves
Old blood at home new life was made
They never knew how far you’d stray
Only to return to your birth place
Come back and
Continue to colour
To the outlines
Of our lives
I tried so hard
To make it easier on you
