Used To Be A Laugh

from The World Began With A Yes by The Silkstones

/

lyrics

I’m picking out who
I’ll turn too
When the world's gone
And the bird's song is
Silence
Escape
Silence
Escapes

And when it calls
The wind will fall
And the desert's plains
Won’t move again
Just silence
Escape
Just silence
Escapes

I used to be a laugh
Or so I’m told

And when we're gone
Like the burst of a sun
Won't you feel the shame
Of our love again
Or
Silence
Escape
Silence
Escapes

And once absorbed
We won't feel no more
Like the winter's haze
Will leave no trace
Just
Silence
Mistakes
Silence
Escapes

I used to be a laugh
Or so I’m told
