belfast

I broke our car in belfast
you didn’t say a word
though I knew how much you wanted to travel on
and rain was our companion
and those irish always know
just how to brew their beers and sing their songs

I broke our car in belfast
you didn’t say a word
but I could read so well into your soul
I prayed for time to run fast
but this is the only world
we’re given to live in, you know

a storm then shook the city
july didn’t care to warm us
it just slept and left us there
so there we stayed and licked our travellers’ wounds
while the band downstairs played all their tunes

I broke our car in belfast
you didn’t say a word
