Natalie Duncan - Uncomfortable Silence

Where are all the flowers?
Did they wilt and shrivel inside me
To blend with the leather skin I wear
That masks the tar covered streets

Where do they all go?
Winding like ribbon silk
That old tarmac tapestry
That covers every one of our sins
And I walked a long way home
Left behind a faded smile
And walked right into the emptiness of my home
It covered up my cheeks
And I sat in silence
Conversations in my ears
I'm looking back on the happy returns
Of my birthday card years

Hold out your hands together
I don't need you here forever
Just someone right now
To hold me 'cause I'm broken
Then you can go and leave me
In uncomfortable silence

Wearing out my shoes, treading over diamonds
Ones that pave these broken streets
Ones that carry my dead weight
Now my bed sheets look presentable
And I feel the electric fire's orange glow
And I remember all the drunken promises made
They lie shattered on the floor
And I sit here wanting more

Hold out your hands together
I don't need you here forever
Oh I, Just someone right now
To hold me 'cause I'm broken
Then you can go and leave me
In uncomfortable silence

Underneath my cloudy bloom
Where the tower blocks
They cover up my Moon
I'm so wrapped in your love
Like a baby kicking in it's womb
Oh and you give me the blues
Every time you leave the room

Ooh I
Ooh I
No I
Mmm no I
