Recovery

I maintain

In the slow lane
I maintain
An imprint of what you do
So you let me down
To laugh at nothing
I have learnt this for myself

And you are nowhere
I have learnt this to my cost
In the slow lane
Still I smell of you
But I maintain
I have learnt this to my cost
So I turn down the sound
I have learnt this to my cost
The signal is frail
In the slow lane

In the slow lane

At the merest thought of you
I maintain
So turn down the sound
I have learnt this for myself
So I turn up the sound

In the slow lane
You say I cry
And you are nowhere

The scent goes by
I have learnt this to my cost
I have learnt this to my cost
I have learnt this for myself
In the slow lane
You let me down
To laugh at nothing
I have learnt this for myself
I have learnt this to my cost
But I maintain
You are nowhere
In the slow lane

I maintain
But I maintain
