lyrics

If I despair now
Take me way way back
I'd ask myself, "What's it like to have lights, you know kid
You ain't got it all that bad"

We'd be out dancing having fun
Two bodies aligned until mine wasn't
Two others beside us to whom we did not exist
His hand light upon her hip

And she touched his hair
So if I despaired
Between four to six beers
Cut me off or pour another
Pint for a lightweight who'd cry when the night was done

But that was decades ago
Now we sit by the fire
Wild with luck we've found
A couple tins floated in
From a ship last night in the Sound

We laugh and remember how we used to get so down
Crooked fingers lift soy paste from metal to mouth

So if I despair now
I know it's only gonna get worse

If I despair now
Remind me of the fight
It might not change a thing
But the friction it brings
Creates its own firelight

If I despair now
On our little barge
Take my hand in the dark
