Inside Out + Back To Front

Blackbirds sing
And black crows fly
The other week I saw two of them
Having a fight
They were vicious
Out for blood
I couldn’t help thinking
They must’ve once been in love

You rolled away
And slipped out of bed
You thought I was sleeping
Felt like I was dead
You crept downstairs
To do that ‘thing’
I couldn’t help wondering
How did it come to this?

Inside out and back to front
Upside down and blue
Love is like a river
Flowing back to you

Shadows falling
‘cross my eyes
That blackbird’s calling
Can’t you hear him cry
The room’s warm
In the morning sun
The bed’s wide
But it’s so undone

I hear you calling
Out my name
But when I answer
You turn away
You say you’re talking
On the phone
Trust me
To hear you wrong?

Inside out and back to front
Upside down and blue
Love is like a river
Flowing back to you

BRIDGE

Inside out and back to front
Upside down and blue
Love is like a river
Flowing back to you
