Venn Diagram Lyrics - Sea Sew - Lisa Hannigan

I have lost you to sleep again. 

Sleeping as we do on opposite sides of a venn diagram 

I read the time in shadows on the wall 

The shards of light through the slats on your window 

I ease myself from under your languid arm, 

Fumble on my boots and hear you breathe through your alarm I disarm it for you, 

You rarely heed it anyway I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream, 

School bell ring messing up the play 

A note, 

Penned clumsily in this century's type-ruined hand 

Saying gone down the shops for a walk I'll bring back some sandwiches 

And then I kiss your face, the black and the blue tie it into my laces, 

I don't want the wander blocking up the view 

I stumble out into the afternoon. 

Still salty from drink and the late night pool I'll be gone an hour at most, 

You will be more diagonal I've a head on me in the post, 

I know, a castle swallowed in the swell.
