lyrics

Ironing Days (Bottle/Darke)

On the day that follows yesterday’s tomorrows
Ironing away to straighten out these things

Knew there would be creases in time
I’m not in pieces I’m just
Ironing away to straighten these things out

Always folding silk and linen seams
And our long forgotten dreams

Presumed a strong foundation
But there was devastation

Ironing Days
Set in our ways
I am amazed again

<Two baskets later...>

Though we are holding remnants of the past
We could be pressing matters fast

And then the statue fell and
All the stories that they tell can

Iron away the truth of the day
I am amazed again

Ironing Days
Something has changed
I am amazed again

Feel the way
Feel the weight
Feel the wait
