Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Night green, heavy love
In wood rooms we're chasing the dragon
Red birds under spring branches
In the eye of the middle
Life runs past us
Life runs through us into the future
Black rain on black branches
I caught sight of my trouble
I light candles for my father
Up in the stairwells
Of a past life
That I once could never have imagined
[Verse 2]
I once found my love on the street
In the spectre of craters
On a wet Sunday slip-morning
Another dimension
Trapped in the rain on cobbled streets
Small specs of my shadow
And emerging fame
When we were chasing the dragon
[Verse 3]
Night green, heavy love
I'll feed you under red striped awnings
Dead birds under spring branches
In the eye of the middle
Loved ones past us
Loved ones through, oh, let me come in
Black rain on black branches
I caught sight of my trouble
I light candles for my brother
Up in the stairwells
Of the past life
That I once knew could be
