(Written in the middle of the night - I think - when the pre-chorus popped into my head. Was originally sung really low in a different key. Was played once by the band and forgotten about, then dug up months and months and months later after Rhys rediscovered it.)
lyrics
built up with the hours, that are left to be filled
the ripples roll in but the water stays still
carried out with the failures, one at a time
you never lose 'cause you never try
blackbirds and roses and hearts gone to seed
trapped like an actor with no part to read
it falls to me, to catch your raindrops on my tongue
it falls to me, to take your daylight to the dusk
and it falls to me, i'll never know when it's enough
