Sepia Lyrics

Let me tell you

We ignored the alarm bells

Tried to call them wedding bells

Dinner bells

School bells

I'm looking at sepia

Trying to remember the colour we used to live in

The blush of our Mother

Has been smothered

By a sickly yellow

Smog seeps in

Sepia

Do you remember

The sun would lift her lashes across the sky

Leaving a hush in my heart, a sigh

Gentle magenta giving way to blue

Oh, heavenly hue

Where are you?

I'm listening to static

Feeling nostalgic

For the birds and their morning song

I used to sing along before it all went wrong

The trees would tell their stories

Of gladness and glory

Now their leaves are but ashes on the ground

The silence is thick

Static

Do you remember

The sun would lift her lashes across the sky

Leaving a hush in my heart, a sigh

Gentle magenta giving way to blue

Oh, heavenly hue

Where are you?

Ooohh

Tried to call them wedding bells

Dinner bells

School bells
