Unkind And Unwise — текст песни (Go-betweens, The)

He was brought up in a house of women
In a city of heat that gave its children
Faith in the fable of coral and fish,
Told them the world was something to miss.

I turn to hold you, you`re gone.
Fingers let go, I`m gone.

That`s just a little unkind
And just a little unwise.
That`s just a little unkind
And just a little unwise.

The salt in the wind moves over the mudflats
Sticks to your skin and rusts up the lights,
Blows through the ferns that breathe in the dark,
I try to forget but it`s so hard.

I turn to hold you, you`re gone.
Fingers let go, I`m gone.

That`s just a little unkind
And just a little unwise.
That`s just a little unkind
And just a little unwise.

What was once is a falling star;
It`ll hit you and hurt you and open your heart.
Burn in a river tangled with reeds
While a crane on the water silently feeds.

I turn to hold you, you`re gone.
Fingers let go, I`m gone.

That`s just a little unkind
And just a little unwise.

That`s just a little unkind
And just a little unwise.

(repeat till cicadas join in the fun)
