Khandallah

from Nest by Mystery Waitress

lyrics

Stomach was swirling 'cos I felt
sorry for taking that coat in the first place
drove to Khandallah to give it back
to my friend's mum
and oh, now she lives alone
with a dog and two cats
and a faded but still lurking depression

Her daughter, the one who is just as strong
but hasn't noticed the sun it still shining
We shared in a few tears
I hope in a few years she better
just like my sister

My sister who paints
places, people and signs
and lives with a dying but still lurking anxiety

Waft of chlorine smell hit me
as I wound my window down
and it threw me back into my childhood
where I learnt not to drown
and I realised how little I've been living recently
I've just been sitting in my comfortable
grey, soft-lined routine

Stopped at the duck park to take a call
put the kettle on, Honey, I'm coming home
3 months away and you're still upstairs
climbing that mountain of misunderstood ideas
and it's so tall
and we don't want you to fall
