Southdowns from Rosegirl by Rosegirl

They painted a white line
On the road to show where to walk where to drive
And I followed the line a couple of times
The shadow of you a ghost by my side
Flashing in the flickering lights
Drawing in a swarm of black flies

I was waiting for you inside
Your voice echoing in my mind
Glancing back over my shoulder
I thought you were right behind

They painted a white line
On the field to show where the bounds lie
I lay in that field on a few humid nights
The chalky paint on the back of my thighs
Scratching at mosquito bites
Drawing my blood drinking their wine

I was waiting for you inside
Your voice echoing in my mind
Glancing back over my shoulder
I thought you were right behind

I thought I saw you walking by
I’ll be thinking it’s you the rest of my life
And I thought it was you when the door opened wide
I’ll be thinking it’s you the rest of my life.

I was waiting for you inside
Your voice echoing in my mind
Glancing back over my shoulder
I thought you were right behind
