James Binnie's Lament

Words & Music by Folky MacFolk Face (2018)

Somewhere I know, in darkened places,
Are pictures of someone I’ll never be.
Memories return, then are slowly forgotten,
On distant horizons far out to sea.

Blinded by light and cold in the darkness,
I’ve wandered to places I don’t belong.
Drowned by the noise and unfamiliar faces,
I long for our places, where did I go wrong?

And I know, I know, that it won’t be long,
It won’t be long ‘till I see you.
And though, I was always wrong,
Always wrong to leave you,
I still need you.

Footprints I’ve left have taken me further,
Than I ever dreamed I could possibly go.
But long, empty nights have taken me further,
To realise those things that I needed to know.

And I know, I know, that it won’t be long,
It won’t be long ‘till I see you.
And though, I was always wrong,
Always wrong to leave you,
I still need you.

There in the sunlight,
The reflections that danced in your eyes.
Life has no certainty and I mourn the day,
But you’ll always be something so beautiful.

Now that I’ve gone and seen what I wanted,
And done all those things that I wanted to do.
It’s clear as the sun, in those faraway places,
It’s clear to me now all I wanted was you.

And I know, I know, that it won’t be long,
It won’t be long ‘till I see you.
And though, I was always wrong,
Always wrong to leave you,
I still need you.

And I know, I know, that it won’t be long,
It won’t be long ‘till I see you.
And though, I was always wrong,
Always wrong to leave you,
I still need you.

So, I’ve been a fool and it’s taken me places,
Far from those faces I wanted to see.
And though each brand-new dawn,
Is bringing me homeward,
The sun never rises for someone like me.
