Raining Twilight Coast

Robyn Hitchcock · I Wanna Go Backwards [2007]

I'm on a raining twilight coast

Sending out postcards to the one I love

And the rain falls up from the ground

No one sees it 'cause there's no one around



Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart

Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart



And I remember when I was young

They said, "Work hard and die suddenly

Because it's fun."

And so I tried it -- I did what I could

It made no difference, it never did any good



Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart

Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart



'Cause I'm a fish baby, with a shimmering skin

And I find an opening, and slide right in

The sea is my mother, pea-green and wild

There's so many ways you can screw up a child



Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart

Just one thing baby, you forgot my heart
