lyrics

Your ankles crossed
Hands folded up just so
You hide the blood stains well
And no one else will know
Laundry hanging in the pouring rain
Feels like grounded paper kites
That are drenched in your shame

What else can you do
When it's pressing down on you

You fly by night
When there's nothing left to be done
For anyone else
So take your kite
Tied to your wishes, prayers and fears
Across moonlight
You Fly by night

Paint me now those tiny wooden squares
And hang them on the wall
To tell your story there
And when the plot's assembled for our eyes
We'll map our tears' accent into the skies

But what else can you do
When it's pressing down on you

You fly by night
When there's nothing left to be done
For anyone else
So take your kite
Tied to your wishes, prayers and fears
Across moonlight
You Fly by night

What happens now no body knows
Except that getting on with it means letting go
Seeing your kite stagnant in the air
I'll stay in thinking something's fair

What else can you do
When you've got to push on through

You fly by night
When there's nothing left to be done
For anyone else
Send up your kite
And let the sting just come undone
Into starbrite
You fly by night

Into moonlight
You fly by night

Beyond Starbrite
You fly your kite
