Written, Produced, and Performed by Kingdom of Love.
Cello on "My Lady Day": Rachel Barringer

lyrics

Summer haystack yellow days
Me in my gunmetal grey
How much am I allowed to say
Before I'm branded hoodwink and a liar?
Questioning the innocence
The past betrays the present tense
Someone stands between you and your latest lovestruck alibi.

Oh - don't go away
Oh - by the way, my lady day
My lady day don't go away.

After all these years you have returned to the same places
And your face is fighting madness
Your escape from all the sadness that you earned.
Suddenly tomorrow's passed in memories of broken glass
And freshly poisoned children
Who just drift away, half noticed.

My love for you is limitless.
My memory is flawed
But I recall the devil's claw
That opened up your soul a'bleeding on your stairs.

After all these years you have returned.
And all my thoughts are overheard.
So I'm expected to expect that I will watch you as you burn.
Round and round and round and round
The silken thread the prey is trapped inside the web.
The final turn, the final breath, the final word.
