Lyrics: Thomas Stokes
Music: Thomas Stokes
I thought I knew your face
Mine turned sour in ways but you stayed the same
The only sign of age
A crease above your chin I made when I was eight
Floorboards creak and shake
Never quite as loud it seems when I’m awake
Fields run dry with shame
Shadows lie in wait when I’m harvesting in vain
Don't let me down my dear
Don't let me down
I'm getting older here
Don't let me down
It wasn’t an escape
I’m followed everywhere by the fruit of your mistake
Trembling through pain
Blistered hands won’t hide the prints behind your name
Don’t let me down my dear
Don’t let me down
I’m getting older here
So don’t let me down
I’m gonna be alone forever
I let you down my dear
I let you down
I’m nothing to you dear
I let you down
Don't let me down my dear
Don't let me down
