So Long
(Artist: Bats on a Swing / Songwriter: Damien Somville)
So long, I’ll let the rain drive me home
Farewell my pale City Rose
And I’ve been silly, but not really in purpose
I’ve tried, but not really, not hard enough...
All wrong
And how wrong...
So long, my pale City Rose
Amongst those Hazy fates and cloudy prose
I belong to the Midlake swimmers
No song to regret, all is great
All wrong, we’re not fully safe and sound, no...
That’s the trick, how we kept our pride
All wrong
And how wrong...
So long, my pale City Rose
No ghost in the shell
Only codes from the swell
All wrong, so wrong
But don’t explain...
Don’t explain, don’t explain, don’t explain...
