Stains Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

If you were here with me 

You'd know how your love stains 

I got ink all on my fingers 

From words I can't explain 

This solitary life is turnin' me about 

My thoughts they all seem tainted 

And the stains they won't come out 

Been too long inside a colour that was fast 

Now the dye 's run out, stainin' up my past. 

It's not too late 

T' put this heart of mine in some shape 

Come and wash away this heartache, and pain 

Don't let it stain. 

If you were here with me 

You'd know your love still stains 

Traces of your make-up 

Pillow cases, eyebrow crayons 

Broken glasses, cryin' tears and fingers bled 

Down upon the carpet where the green turned into red 

It's been too long inside a house that's full o' you 

With nothin' left to show - memories seeping through. 

It's not too late 

T' put this heart of mine in some shape 

Come and wash away this heartache, and pain 

Don't let it stain. 

Walkin' aimlessly from room to room 

Where the air is stained with your perfume 

Pictures on the wall 

Seem to shine no more 

And the colours are no longer true. 

It's not too late 

T' put this heart of mine in some shape 

Come and wash away this heartache, and pain 

Don't let it stain. 

It's not too late 

T' put this heart of mine in some shape 

Come and wash away this heartache, and pain 

Don't let it stain. 

(Repeat and fade).
