[Verse 1]
Love descended in the water
In the breaking of the mother-daughter
Father-son and lines of genes
Rip and crease and keep things clean
In the teeth and in the tether
In the backwards-beating weather
To the endpoint, to the hollow
Two loves' labours lost in colour
[Hook]
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
[Verse 2]
Love came down for many years
And lost her teeth with raindrop tears
Swelled her woodwork, pushed her pedals
She went home without a medal
She went down down, all the way
Now she plays an alleway
Now she cuts her shape with debt
And now she's past it, past her best
[Hook]
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
Love descended in the water
In the breaking of the mother-daughter
Father-son and lines of genes
Rip and crease and keep things clean
In the teeth and in the tether
In the backwards-beating weather
To the endpoint, to the hollow
Two loves' labours lost in colour
[Hook]
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
[Verse 2]
Love came down for many years
And lost her teeth with raindrop tears
Swelled her woodwork, pushed her pedals
She went home without a medal
She went down down, all the way
Now she plays an alleway
Now she cuts her shape with debt
And now she's past it, past her best
[Hook]
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
