Mundane Living Lyrics

You watched her walk by on that cold spring morning

A new stranger for your desire

Hooded and scarved against the breeze of the shoreline

A mystery to make you aspire

You watched her from afar

And you painted pictures

of a perfect future in your mind

The life you meant to live

before the world took over

You’d leave mundane living far behind

The waves were not kind on that cold spring morning

Buffered and blue, you worked on

Daydreaming of her calmed the roughest of oceans

But when you returned she was gone

You watched her from afar

And you painted pictures

of a perfect future in your mind

The life you meant to live

before the world took over

You’d leave mundane living far behind

You asked around the town if folks had seen her

You wasted days skulking by the shore

Whilst back at home your wife was waiting,

alone and unaware you wanted more
