Waiting

Listen to this song here


tonight i’ll dream a girl called home
and wake up in tears
all on my own
with the sun coming up
and my head against stone
balcony dressed and drawn
tonight i’ll dream a room so far away
frost pale blue
the colour of a perfect day
and then screw up my face
in the mirror
as i wait for the others to call

but if i don’t believe in magic
and i don’t believe in blood
and i don’t believe in miracles
and i don’t believe in love
then how come i believe so soon
in a cherry tree girl
and a dust blue room?

tonight i’ll dream an hour so long
shadow soft smiles
and everyone loves me
to open my eyes
in a drag myself face undone
hard back into the world
tonight i’ll dream a dream i dream
without even trying i’m flying i scream
as i practice the move
i spit at my pillow stained face
and the others all come

but if i don’t believe in magic
and i don’t believe in blood
and i don’t believe in miracles
and i don’t believe in love
then how come i believe it seems
in a girl called home
and a world called dreams?

    Great depth of field on this one Craig and the orange glow is so warming. Love the incredibly low angle and the simplicity and openess of the shot
