PSEUDO SILK KIMONO - KAYLEIGH

PSEUDO SILK KIMONO (Marillion)

Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono
wearing bracelets of smoke, naked of understanding.
Nicotine smears, long, long dried tears,
invisible tears.
Safe in my own words, learning from my own words,
cruel joke, cruel joke.

Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono
a morning mare rides,
in the starless shutters of my eyes.
The spirit of a misplaced childhood is rising
to speak his mind to this orphan of heartbreak,
disillusioned and scarred, a refugee, refugee.
Safe in the sanctuary, safe.

KAYLEIGH (Marillion)

Do you remember chalk hearts melting
on a playground wall? Do you remember dawn escapes
from moon washed college halls?
Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square?
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair?
By the way didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart.
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart,
but you broke mine...
Kayleigh is it too late to say I'm sorry?
And Kayleigh could we get it together again?
I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end
Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you,
and Kayleigh I thought that we'd always be friends,
we said our love would last forever
so how did it come to this bitter end?
Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars?
Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize Park?
Do you remember dancing in stilettoes in the snow?
Do you remember you never understood I had to go?
By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart,
so sorry, I never meant to break your heart,
but you broke mine...
Kayleigh I just wanna say I'm sorry, but Kayleigh
I'm too scared to pick up the phone to hear you've found
another lover to patch up our broken home;
Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone.
Maybe it will prove that we were right
Or ever prove that I was wrong...
