Lyrics
Oh what these, these aren’t tears It’s just the rain that wasn’t brave enough to fall And what they hear isn’t laughter after all It’s just your voice learning for once to stand up tall

And when the rain came down I made a vow out to the gods Please let her live just one more day Cos she is so much more than all her scars And if she doesn’t have the will But it seems the whole world does I’ll stay because I will be the man my father never was

And what you hear is not silence It’s just the trees waiting to hear what next you’ll hum And what you see is not the dark It’s just the gods upturning inkpots Cos they know what you’ll become

And to those gods I will speak bluntly We’ve an accord If you ever touch or harm him Please rest assured That you might not fear a man But to a woman by the end you’ll kneel and plea Cos I’m more than what my mum told me to be

And I can hear her sing And I know she’s giving up And I don’t know what to do, how to help her How to bring her home

And I can hear him break And he doesn’t understand And I wish that I could take his hand But where I’m going is for me and me alone

And I can her sing

If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone Just know I loved you all along

If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone Just know I loved you all along
