about

'Painted By Numbers' is from the forthcoming Aural Air EP 'Imagined Pastures'

lyrics

Feel the air get colder
on the steep way to the town
though they say you’ll end up home
take the longest route around

A breath of mist
across Gleniff
blue gentian in May
paint them someday

Streets where we will meet beneath
the folding nights embrace
the scent of stars
and smoke-smothered bars
forge our destiny
your careful kiss
nebulous
skylines in grey

Painted by numbers
45 through 1
painted by numbers
repeating the past

You always said
be on your best behaviour at night
you always went beyond and back
to save us, sit tight
once before the day is done
once before the night has won
once before the fate is sealed
once before it is revealed
once before it’s lost.
