"Cariad" lyrics

"Cariad"

I'm not a godly man
But, every time we fucked
I'd shout out, "Oh, God, enough"
To send up my own little prayer
I'm not a lucky man
But, darling, you had me fooled
You carved out a better man
One that loved you through and through
I used to spend whole evenings watching the movements of your mouth
I'd take you all in, and thank God that I did 'cause it's all that I'm left with now

Trapped inside for another night
These junkie fingers scroll me back to another life

My eyes burn holes through pictures of you and I
Cariad, I miss you all the time
Accepting it's over
I let the air run out
All of these pictures of you and I
Plastered on the hallways of my mind
But, now that it's over, I let the air run out

I'm just a crooked man
I found God in sin
I'd dig up the past again
Just to watch you dancing within
I'm missing Call Lane and the cigarette stains, all the poetry I never read
Outrageously dreaming of us reconvening and you leading me back to bed

Trapped inside for another night
These junkie fingers scroll me back to another life

My eyes burn holes through pictures of you and I
Cariad, I miss you all the time
Accepting it's over
I let the air run out
All of these pictures of you and I
Plastered on the hallways of my mind
But now that it's over, I let the air run out

Oh, but I still wake up with things to tell you
That I dream of you no matter who I'm sleeping next to
Good God, I resent you for leaving
But I can't pretend I don't need you
Cariad, indulge in this sin
I need your delicate fingers tracing my outline again
Just once again

I'm not a godly man
But, every time we fucked
