Calamity Jay – “From the outside”

(Words: Rahel Rosenwald / Music: Rahel Rosenwald & JayC Be)

Verse 1

Have you still not understood

That the world keeps on turning, for good,

even after you have gone?

And that’d drag you, despite tough bones

Down to the ground, down to the ground, down to the ground

Verse 2

Is it a vain idea, at all

that the birds would stop singing, no sun would cheer?

Or even that the rain would fall

Only for you, if you’re not here,

Anymore ? Like grey tears, like grey tears, on your last lay

Chorus

Don't hang your head down, my love.

Even on the loneliest ocean there is something above.

Keep on going, at every end there’s a start

a little light in the darkest desert,

Whoever carries love in their hearts, in their hearts, in their hearts

Verse 3

Sometimes it's just not enough

to be a good man, it’s an illusion though

it won’t make you get your bread

Cause many apples, yes, only knows the dead

they are rotten and you – again - will be forgotten

Verse 4

How I would like, just like you

Never breaking ranks, I feel I'm through

I’d have stood there, tall and straight,

Cos’ you're the perfect cliché to take the bait

But I am, but I am, but I am

Chorus

I won’t hang my head down

Even on the loneliest ocean there is something above.

I keep on going, at every end there’s a start

a little light in the darkest desert,

whoever carries love in their hearts, in their hearts, in their hearts

Mhhhh mhhhh mhh mh

Second single from our forthcoming EP. This one is closer to Rahel's sensibility than the first one (White Flowers)
