Lyrics:

My love lives two lives away.
We write songs and talk in rhymes.
I don't ever try to elaborate,
Because I fear he doesn't have the time.

When we reappear to eachother's eyes
My throat is bound in a collar of fear.
Just once a year can we allow ourselves,
But a year that's chased is still a year

And the sun comes out around September-
Lights my way onto the train.

I cannot stay.
I cannot say that I do love you anymore,
Anymore, anymore,
Oh I cannot stay;
My heart, it beats against the handle of your door.

Every time you smile as if
You're caught up in the sky itself
And if things go wrong, should we complain?
We have our art, we have our health.

And if I hang round, like a ghost,
My breaking heart breaks yours, as well.
I wake up early, listen to the cats-
Their voices ring out, loud as bells.

And I like to be out when it's cold,
And I like to feel like I'm not alone.
He's an old friend; it is not intended;
He's not to be claimed as my own.

And when you shout, I can hear it,
Across the land that
We tread along like strangers,
Across it's length, and
Through the parks and through the houses,
And through their attics,
And round this circle of fifths in this circular argument.

This game, I've played for far too long.
It's time to admit it was never won.
He is not mine, he is not mine

And the sun goes down around December-
Casts a shadow on the lies.

I cannot stray.
I cannot say that I do love you anymore,
Anymore, anymore,
Oh, I cannot say,
I cannot say...

Nevertheless, it isn't true.
Nevertheless, I'll carry on.
You're caught up in the sky itself.
Nevertheless, you know it's you.

I have had this on loop for the past couple of hours and yet i could not tell you a single lyric. You just get immersed in the sound and it does not matter what she is singing about as its the powerful feeling and emotion of the song thats all thats needed. Beautiful.
