they
they were tied to the infinite heart
of the us, faded empty town
and, and as they fought
where their image of fate
hand in hand as they ran
through the grass to the mill
where they swam and they laughed
for a long time
kissed wildly
like old hens and
just one came back

she only falls down
but she ain't broken
only falls down
but she ain't broken
don't look for my old photograph
only falls down
but she ain't broken
don't look for my old photograph
only falls down
but she ain't broken

fall and grow like the girl
who was born long ago
take the bus on the road
to the mill which is gone
where you swam with that girl
who had run from this place
who you said who had drowned
who appears as a ghost in a frame
only falls down
but she ain't broken....
on the table by your bed
'cos all
that you have
it's that old photograph
of that girl
that you kissed
don't look for my old photograph....
right there
on the grass
don't be scared
like the old folk
just be strong like that girl
and go
you're like a fish in a bottle
you can't move 'cos it's awkward
just go
and go
