For You I Hold My Breath
Katie Jane Garside
I wash his feet with angels' hair
Cry baby boy your cupboards bare
With vapour trails across the sky
Said will you, won't you?
Never be mine
For you I hold my breath
For you I get undressed
The cupboards bare
There's nothing left
You should've known
You should've guessed
A row of pearls beneath your skin
Cry surface tension, I dive in
My darling boy you need to know
Migration claws this tethered soul
For you I hold my breath
For you I get undressed
The cupboards bare
There's nothing left
You should've known
You should've guessed
This broken bird lost in the snow
Migration claws this tethered soul
And no one calls 'cos no one knows
My darling boy, I have to go
For you I hold my breath
For you I get undressed
The cupboards bare
There's nothing left
I stood the time
I stood the test
You should've known
You should've guessed
You should've known
You should've guessed
You should've known
You should've guessed
You should've known
You should've guessed
You should've known
You should've guessed
