A Mysterious Disappearance

Текст песни Grasscut - A Mysterious Disappearance

The frost on the grass has melted
Cloud shadows over the wall
Not like it says in the papers
Not like he told them at all

Safe in the comfort of frailty
She sits in a station hall
Headlines of her disappearance
She walks with her eyes to the floor

And as the train
It puffs and spits
She writes her name
On everybody's lips

12 hours later they find it
Windscreen smashed by the road
No indication of motive
No message, not even a note

And at the opposite end of the country
She sits on a hotel bed
Staring at a face in the mirror
Is it hers or another's instead?

And from the cups
They stare and sip
She writes her name
On everybody's lips
A room with a view of the garden
A gate with a path to the sea
The last of the ripples of laughter
As the band leaves after the tea

Police running over the grassland
Footfalls loud in the hall
Boots hard on the stair carpet
Cloud shadows over the wall

And as the tap
It drips and drips
She writes her name
On everybody's lips

And from the cups
They stare and sip
She writes her name
On everybody's lips

And as the train
It puffs and spits
She writes her name
On everybody's lips
