Lover, trouble knows my name.
I’ve been wandering, headless, had it out with the rain.
The half-light, silent - I still feel the same
In the merciful dark, with this bloat in my veins.
I’m a stranger in a map of my sins.
Poison oak has weaved it’s wicked way within.
I shift my gait, leave it all to the breeze again.
Shadows lengthen on the lonely hearts of Lordship Lane,
They’re singing: “lover, trouble knows my name.”
I was looking for you when the streets rearranged.
Tunneled hillsides, cut a swathe through my skin.
Poison oak has weaved it’s wicked way within.
Wishing well’s fit for picking, I’ve been up to my old tricks.
Another year, same old mistakes.
Gold is past due but I can’t shake my baby blues.
Different council, same estate.
My heart remains blind to my shame
Everyone I’ve hurt knows that trouble, trouble, trouble knows my name.
