The Ballad Of J Smith Lyrics - Travis

He watched the shadows 

On the walls of his room 

And the silence will speak too soon 

And he held her tightly 

So tight he could tell 

He knew the feeling so well 

He said "Pretty baby will you marry me?" 

She said "You'd look shit upon my family tree" 

And that's when he realised he'd have to start again 

And just when you think you've got it figured out 

They light seven candles and you're blowing them out 

You know that you're going to have to light them all again 

You see her turning night into day 

And the broken television display 

And I know you're hurting 

But tonight I can pray 

Cos you've got to think for yourself 

Lie down everyone 

Close your eyes and look for the sun 

Even they don't know where it's gone 

Reminiscing of days when you knew that you belong
