Lyrics
I gave a homeless man a tenner today
I hope he don't spend it in the same old way
That curiosity envelopes me
It's the moral compass I took from you
The confident posture, meniscus blue
It's that Irish charm that'll probably be here forever, and ever
Wham bam baby, solar system save me
Did you pray for broke flairs or an evening with a lady
Stunt double prior, MainStage like Mariah
Don't concede to open parachutes they'll only take you higher
Maybe I can return the favour one day
But certainly not in this life,
Where did you go
Cos I've been clutching at straws for a while
Another decade without that smile
I wanna go wherever Maggie goes
I wonder if she knows
Birthed from the fire of county Wicklow
Taken to whichever way the wind blows
A mercurial mermaid then and now
I still remember the see through pram
Longford park in the palm of your hands
An entire epilogue in such a tiny house
Maybe I can return the favour one day
But certainly not in this life
Where did you go
Cos i've been clutching at straws for a while
Another decade without that smile
I wanna go wherever Maggie goes
I wonder if she knows
I wonder if she knows
My mind is transparent, clarity-kissed
Dissolved in a wormhole, of memories missed
Forever closer to the scales, no adherence to weight
Hunger is a virtue, that I've taken off the plate
So I am at the mercy of a chokehold, with an ever-tightening grip
Circulating whispers, to the palm on which I sit
I had to look the other way, she still asks me if my Dads ok
I wonder if she knows
I wonder if she knows
