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
