Long Exposure

I didn't think you'd lie to me
My love for you it was pure
Like glitter on snow
I cannot quite believe the deceit
What a fool love brings...

I held your memory high, encased in glass
Nothing could shatter or tarnish your sacred remains
But you came with your wrecking ball at last
What a fool I have been..

Cos I called through the trees
I called from the beach
I waited for you
Crying from all cliffs
& the photograph
That I held in my mind
Had a long exposure
Long exposure
To the truth

So I commit rare love to ink
That very night saw my letter dropped onto her fire
How could you turn so easily?
What a fool love brings..

For I called through the trees
I called from the beach
I waited for you
Crying from all cliffs
& the photograph
That I held in my mind
What a long exposure
Long exposure
Long Exposure
To the truth

Orchards of cherries lie bruised on the ground
Bitten, discarded in grief all around
You settle for such easy fruit
What a fool that love brings

For you've called through the trees
You called from the beach
You've been looking for me
Crying from all cliffs
& the photograph
That you held in your hand
Had a long exposure
But here I am, here I am, waiting
Here I am, here I am, waiting

And that photograph of you
It's fading in the sunlight
& that photograph of you
It's fading in the sunlight...
