1979 Lyrics by Altona

.​.​.​And This Is Why We Are Alone

2019

Those heels pounding the carpet
Running  through the halls of the family home
Ten  years old
Jumping fences, brandy in the silos
Life was never more simple

1979,  1979
Ten  years, Fourteen days
1979, 1979
Fourteen  years but always

Holding your breath
Hoping for something better
Before the cigarettes hit your lungs
Fourteen  years young
Your wet hair frames your face
Return home to the house built by dead hands and lost souls

1979, 1979
Ten years, Fourteen days
1979, 1979
Fourteen years but always
