I saw them lowered in the setting sun
\nJust as the storm appeared over the downs
\nNothing left in this town to talk about
\nNo more old ground to be going over<\/p>\n
Always wanted to shine like chalk in the rain
\nAlways ended up stuck fast in the sucking clay
\nEverything fades away, fades away
\nLike chalk and clay, chalk and clay.
\nIt all runs away, chalk and clay.<\/p>\n
Well your face still shine in the rain
\nFrom that day we spent on the river bank
\nThe storm blew the barley like waves
\nOur hands struggled with the fishing lines<\/p>\n
Your hands are red raw from scrubbing the step
\nAnd painting it red like blood
\nWe pass by like trains in the night
\nMissing the small signals of love<\/p>\n
The small gestures that get washed away
\nlike chalk and clay, chalk and clay<\/p>\n
I still see them fade away like chalk and clay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
