Lyrics Roddy Woomble

Roddy Woomble

Hope To See

Your face expresses the tears so seriously

As the lamp light draws dark circles round your eyes

And your mouth twists unexpected fade into it's natural shape

And turns the dark into another form of light.

Time expresses itself so suddenly

And people pass like strangers in the night.

They're just doing what they think is right on into an older way of life

Where the dark is just another form of light.

Every single thing I ever hoped to see

I held in my hands

In the hope I'd never turn into the man

I'm expected to be

And watch you holding your hands

As lost to memory...

Dry your eyes and round circles

'Cause you've been poured into the ocean

On an undertow of all our lonely hearts.

The solitude feels the same

Whoever you blame.

Don't let darkness become another form of light.

Every single thing I ever hoped to see

I held in my hands

In the hope I'd never turn into the man

I'm expected to be

Now I know that nothing is lost to memory
