From the recording Forgotten People
Lyrics
Alone in the Estuary - The midnight cry we've heard so many times it's haunting The candle burns so violently it's calling The ashes stolen by the wind I feel There's nothing left in the garden There's nothing left in the house There's nothing left where we used to play Just memories that don’t fade away All these towns are like sunken ships And we swim alone in the estuary In through the fire and down through the well In through the fire we tripped and fell Where have you been my child? Woke up confused In a fever in sickness Laying there strapped to the bed Don’t know why don’t know where I feel it taste it oh so often A monument ignored but never forgotten There's nothing left in the garden There's nothing left in the house There's nothing left where we used to play Just memories that don’t fade away All these towns are like sunken ships And we swim alone in the estuary In through the fire and down through the well In through the fire we tripped and fell Where have you been my child? Hey child what did you do with your life? Hey child what did you do with your time?
