[Lyric] Us Late Travellers (James Yorkston)

There are parts of you, I shall never reach, that you keep hidden away
But if I'm the man for you my dear, that's a chance that I shall take
The days we spend all aflame with nothing in our thoughts
Will we never learn?

The stars they light our path
Provide hope for us late travellers
And I shall not let you down

The only way I got through those days was time wore on
I was not brave, my hearts was skewered, but time wore on
I cannot change the words I wrote, I cannot lay the ghost
I cannot lay thе ghost

The promises we makе
Provide hope for us late travellers
And I shall not let you down

And after a long sad day
Your cat sensed my misadventure
She climbed and she lept upon my chest
And she rose and she fell with my breathing
Like a sea bird riding a wave
The stars they light our path
Provide hope for us late travellers
And I shall not let you down
