lyrics

Slow, I've come to the answer
I'm losing the way I once knew you
It's so hard to go from one to the other
To the streets, from the rooftops, from the arbour

Where once all was read it's more unknowable now
Like a fine timepiece with the minute hand gone
Like an old string bow that's been loosened for good

Slow, it seems to take forever
Those long black clouds just getting longer

It's like a drawing tide that doesn't want to be drawn
Like a new flung leaf with a wind setting in
Like a homemade scarf with the stitch wearing thin

Slow, I've come to the answer
I'm losing the way I once knew you
It's so hard to go from one to the other
To the streets, from the rooftops, from the arbour

Time's heal just hurts in the way that it numbs
Like a clawing of eyes when you're trying to see
But I do not want to go without a second of it
For what is life and love if you have to forget
All you once held so close you'd die losing it
And I still know your eyes and I know what they say
No matter how far apart or how close we'll stay

Ned Roberts London, UK

Not long after writing his first songs, he was discovered by producer Luther Russell (Sarabeth Tucek, Richmond Fontaine, Noah & The Whale) and brought to Los Angeles to record. The pair have since developed a close creative partnership. Dream Sweetheart, Ned's third album, is released on 7/2/20. ... more
