A Curse On You

The sun lay on the flat of land without the strength to keep its flame
I fixed myself a drink, I went through it all again
Now, this had happened once before, I knew you were not joking
The bush was burnt for miles and into it the sun was sinking

I drove down to the six mile beach, traced the steps that we had made
Into a dip between two dunes, two summers since where we had laid
I looked into that sand where we had made our indentation
The movement of our bodies now seemed an act of desperation

A bitter star will follow you, an empty sky will swallow you
The prophecies all proven to be true
Well, a bitter star will follow you, an empty sky will swallow you
This song shall be a curse on you
This song shall be a curse on you

The words that meant so much before, they fell from my mouth like crumbs
The sun lay on the flat of land, I swear it was a colder one, ha!

Well, a bitter star will follow you, an empty sky will swallow you
The prophecies all proven to be true
Yes, a bitter star will follow you, an empty sky will swallow you
This song shall be a curse on you
Well, a bitter star will follow you, an empty sky will swallow you
This song shall be a curse on you
This song shall be a curse on you
