Curse on You

The sun lay on the flat of the land

Without the strength to keep its flame

I fixed myself a drink

And I went through it all again

Now this had happened once before

I knew you were not joking

The bush was burnt for miles

And into it the sun was sinking

I drove down to the six mile beach

I traced the steps that we had made

Into a dip between two dunes

Two summers since where we had laid

I looked into the sand

Where we had made our indentation

And the movement of our bodies

Now seemed an act of desperation

A bitter star will follow you

An empty sky will swallow you

The prophecies all proven to be true

A bitter star will follow you

An empty sky will swallow you

This song shall be a curse on you

The words that meant so much before

They fell from my mouth like crumbs

The sun lay on the flat of the land

But I swear it was a colder one

A bitter star will follow you

An empty sky will swallow you

The prophecies all proven to be true

A bitter star will follow you

An empty sky will swallow you

This song shall be a curse on you

This song shall be a curse on you
