Go-betweens - Unkind & Unwise Lyrics
He was brought up in a house of womenIn a city of heat that gave its childrenFaith in the fable of coral and fish,Told them the world was something to miss.I turn to hold you, youre gone.Fingers let go, Im gone.Thats just a little unkindAnd just a little unwise.Thats just a little unkindAnd just a little unwise.The salt in the wind moves over the mudflatsSticks to your skin and rusts up the lights,Blows through the ferns that breathe in the dark,I try to forget but its so hard.I turn to hold you, youre gone.Fingers let go, Im gone.Thats just a little unkindAnd just a little unwise.Thats just a little unkindAnd just a little unwise.What was once is a falling star;Itll hit you and hurt you and open your heart.Burn in a river tangled with reedsWhile a crane on the water silently feeds.I turn to hold you, youre gone.Fingers let go, Im gone.Thats just a little unkindAnd just a little unwise.Thats just a little unkindAnd just a little unwise.(repeat till cicadas join in the fun)
