Lyrics

The 14th of February
(Words and Music By Andy Hill)
Wasted morning, another wasted afternoon
Maybe I can salvage something tonight
But I know it won't be in the walls of this room

You didn't leave me
You're just gone
And everything here's got your name on it
Every poem, every song
You didn't leave me
I asked you to go
And it's the 14th of February
And it's so cold

Lonely dreaming
The evening was alright till I got back to the door
And silence has a personality all its own
And the drone has cut me to the core

Cardboard boxes and old photographs
And all the things still left behind
Correspondence to you that comes across my path
With a return receipt requested
Guess I'll forward it unsigned
