Jim Martin: LISTEN!

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

I'm sorry and afraid
I hear the distant sound of drums
There's no excuse
For what our lives have now become
The moon will help me sleep tonight
And now we're done

I meet you in the dark
With cautious words and heavy arms
One last embrace
To show I never meant you harm
The faces on us look relieved
And not alarmed

The mist that's in the air
Is drifting towards an unmarked grave
With one last kiss
A thousand miles of clouds are paved
Love is taken and returned
And can't be saved

I'm sorry and afraid
I hear the distant sound of drums
There's no excuse, there's no excuse
For what our lives have now become
The moon will help me sleep tonight
And now we're done.
