Leadlight - Julia Jacklin

I was once a Sunday kneeler

When I saw the leadlight fall from the pane

I didn't know that the grass was not only greener

Upkeep is cheaper when you embrace the rain

So I jumped down to lay with my leadlight

Under your spotlight I lay with the shards

I didn't know that the ground is not only harder

Oh but colder when you are not around

I love you my darling I do

But I can let possession make a fool of you

I love you my darling I do

But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through

So I ran with dreams to reach the skyline

Straight up that incline I ran towards the blue

I didn't know that the sky is not only wider

Oh but clearer when I'm standing next to you

I love you my darling I do

But I can let possession make a fool of you

I love you my darling I do

But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through

Oh I believe in trust you see

But don't you go and put your trust in me

I cost more than you earn

So tell me boy why didn't you ever learn

I love you my darling I do

But I can let possession make a fool of you

I love you my darling I do

But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through
