Rumours of Others

lyrics

Just like anyone, I didn’t choose to be here
But here I stand and here they’ll bury me
These rumours of others spook like shadows ’neath this tree
But here I stand and here they’ll bury me

Hey, stranger
Ain’t you got some place to be?
Step lightly here or, better still, kindly disappear
Hey, stranger
Seems this place has chosen me
So step lightly here or kindly disappear

They say we’re unjustified
But round here it’s about surviving
I keep my lover’s name inside of me
I keep her memory
Far away they say “forgive”
But round here we’re just trying to live
Building shelter, missing sleep
With all the good ones who believe

This winter chill it kills my bones
And this heart has found its own way home
When suddenly you’re staring back at me
But I didn’t choose to be here
So before they lay me low
Here we stand
Here we stand
