Angus Blaikie - The Madness of This Lyrics

Behind tired curtains, grief stirs in the night
She's stalked by the shadows that battle the light
And she can't fall asleep without a cabernet kiss
Close your eyes to the madness of this

The crows and the vultures all perch and they preen
While the partridge abandoned sings blue notes unseen
To know of a splendour that others have missed
Close your eyes to the sadness of this

Hello silver angel, you're pinned to a star
Shine on, shine on me again, from aeons afar
And your light's slowly fading, like a lover remiss
Close your eyes to the darkness of this
