In a Turn - Mordred

It’s a wonder, wide eyed wonder

You’re just a nickle away

Living in your shadow all this time

Always loved your kind of leaving

I ain’t got nothing to say

But I’m saying nothing anyway

The clock on the wall is crooked, your time is running out

I suck down the deadly coffee wasting in your cup

The back of my neck is itching, look me in the eye

Not such an easy matter, it takes you by surprise

Like a pistol, something’s backfired

I never promised a thing

Can you build a bridge and never cross?

First a whisper, nervous laughter

And then the shock of the sting

Toss me right and left me at a loss

The back of my neck is itching, look me in the eye

Not such an easy matter, it takes you by surprise

The clock on the wall is crooked, your time is running out

I suck down the deadly coffee cooling in your cup

It’s just remarkable the way she turns away

Then turns her back again, am I lover am I friend?

Nothing is so neatly planned

Pull my teeth out of your hand

What’s a boy, what’s a boy supposed to say

When his pride is shaking and his courage slips away?

What’s a girl, what’s a girl supposed to do

In a turn of the watch???

It’s a wonder, wide-eyed wonder

That you turn away

Turn away

From me
