Story behind the song
I was reading Saturday by Ian McEwan when I wrote this, and quite unintentionally the song fits very closely with the book. A strange thing, the subconscious.
Lyrics
My head has hardly touched the pillow And I am wide awake. I hear you breathing deeply Like surf that softly breaks Onto the shore that stretches far away The wind that breathes dark words; The storm that’s passed, The empty glass, That rolls across the floor. She’s really got me wrapped around her heart But it’s just no competition. She doesn’t know me I might as well be dead. She’s really got me wrapped around her heart But it’s far too late for questions. She doesn’t know She lives outside my head. The earth is cloaked in shadow Day has passed to night. The landscape dims perceptibly Outside my mind There is a light that shines But casts no image Upon the lost indifferent night The dead world sleeps regardless Of the silent shifting shadows Outside my mind. Outside my mind. Outside my mind.
