lyrics

on the back of your funeral
we took the short flight to newcastle
from the heights of the hotel
the daylight untensed like a muscle

our friends had trashed the room
before we had a chance to take off our shoes
drinking champagne and orange juice

i’ve been here before, but man it’s different without you
the sand under my feet, and that cut-glass water

shared a cab to the party
took pictures of all that we saw
and when the crowd fell to pieces
i took the backstreets alone,
the summer heat and insect drone

surrounded me like
an ancient, dead scripture
we all met up back there
and tried not to mention your name

watched the nrl final from a cheap pizza place
on the main street
the cowboys took extra time
and knocked the broncos off their feet

thurston had a look on his face
like he’d just been saved
as if you could find salvation
but only in simple ways

and you taught me
that if you keep your hands up
the one thing that can hurt you is you
and you’ll march through your days
with a brave face and no illusions

and we shall not all sleep
but we shall all be changed
and cover the changes

and we shall not all sleep
but we shall all be changed
but i am not changing
