Broadbeans

from Into The Blue by Lucy Wise

/

lyrics

I woke up early, put a jacket on
I read the news and sang some love songs
Somehow what I’m writing comes out wrong
Some words don’t belong

I’ll boil the kettle, just enough for me
I’ll drown my sorrows in a strong black tea
My love got up for work at half past four
Headed straight out the door

Chorus:
Hello, I called you just to see how you’ve been
I’m sure you’re just busy, that’s how it seems
So now, I’m on the porch just shelling broadbeans
Broadbeans, broadbeans

There’s so much I should and should not do
My to-do lists only make me blue
Collecting kindling for the fire
Just enough to warm this tired heart of mine

In everything I try to do and make
If I fail, I feel my life’s at stake
Talking with you calms my mind
The silver linings that you find

Chorus

The city life is tiring
The rushing and desiring of just a bit more time
Though I don’t miss the traffic
I miss our silly antics
I hope this tree change doesn’t come between us

Chorus
