Here We Come
Brick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now here we are at last
The day's in dew and the night's the past
At last that past let me understand
What you had hidden there in your hands

It was just a little memory all alone
An old move in this game that you've owned
I thought that ship had sailed, my heart nailed to the mast
But now here we are again at last

This has been my home for these five years
But you promised we'd never come back here

Now things look clear as the wind between the waves
I bought you all of the things you so generously gave away
I walked about the empty rooms of our house
They were weeping with hunger, wonder if they're still weeping now

Beside me on a bench was a bird that made me sad
Wide and horrible eyes like your mother had
Paraded two big wings to show me she was bored
Then she leapt up and she flew and believe me, she soared

I'll cut my hair and lend you my ear
If you promise we'll never come back here

Now this time I think I understand
The shadows, the shifting sheets and the sleight of hand
How you slot yourself neatly back into the cast
I met you onstage and here we are again at last

I stayed at home
For six months or so
And now I'd like to know
How you spent all of that time
Because I've been alone
Amongst all the crows
Since you saw me below
Platform nine
And the sea was mean
And the chapel was clean
It was a stone canteen
Stoppered with stained glass
These are my last four lines
I never gave them much time




But I wanted them happy
And now here they are at last

Overall Meaning
