Catie Curtis Mine Fields Lyrics

Mine Fields Lyrics

I come home, don't know where you are
You must be working pretty hard
I
feed the cat half a can of food
And I sit at the table and I wait for
you
And I don't like doubting how this old love will hold
But I have my
moments when I'm just waiting for it to explode

Oh, no good deals in
these mine fields today
It don't matter how I walk
I could get blown
away
Underneath the soil and the flowers
I can hear a ticking down from
years to hours

There's not a lot of air in this third floor flat
You
want to go outside you want to
Get some by
You have said that you cannot
breathe when you're
Caught up inside here with no reprieve
I have been
trying not to hold you to your lines
But I feel you leaning
Out more all
the time

Oh, no good deals in these mine fields today
It don't matter
how I walk
I could get blown away
Underneath the soil and the flowers
I
can hear a ticking down from years to hours

Forever is a word I leave on
the shelf
I don't want history to repeat itself
So I take it night by
night
And I try not to hold you too tight
I have been dancing up and down
the words
Trying to find out why
Things are not the way they
were

Oh, no good deals in these mine fields today
It don't matter how
I walk
I could get blown away
Underneath the soil and the flowers
I can
hear a ticking down from years to hours
