about

A love lost is hard to get into a stubborn head, particularly a masculine one. A cold and solitary walk in mist and rain - as the dusk falls - may just get the message through, but still he keeps on hoping; hopelessly as it turns out

lyrics

ENGLISH MISSED

He walked alone, down an English lane
Dusk was drawn, through a mist of rain
He looked up, into the laden clouds
Saw the one that he would be without, for evermore
He roars...

I see you, in the distance
But you are all a-shimmer
I peer through, swirling mists
And you’re there, but getting dimmer, now (dimmer now)

He walked on into the deepening night
His mind running over, his lovelorn plight
A dog’s lone bark, then a curious sound
Could that be her, he spun around, in surprise
He cries...

I hear you, in the darkness
I call my words are smothered
I hear you, I hearken
I move but I am covered

He waded on into his personal hell
Big macho man now a pitiful shell
Reality seeping, determinedly wet
A simple picture, he couldn’t get, into his head
He wept...

I see you, in the distance
But you are all a-shimmer
I peer through, swirling mists
And you’re there, but getting dimmer

I hear you, in the darkness
I call my words are smothered
I hear you, I hearken
I move but I am covered over

It’s over, yeah, it’s over, mmm, it’s over, it’s all over
