I wrote this song years ago after a very painful phone call that was the start of a cracking friendship.

Recently I wrote to my old friend that I feel our relationship is like a beautiful book. A heavy one, beveled and enrobed of a velvet cover. The book is closed, and I wish to revisit it once in a while, but it a lot of effort and quite some sadness to be able to find a good place for it in my library. So I don’t really often want to open the book again to casually go through it’s pages. It’s save and well archived where it is now.

Pieces

After a long time not

really talking

Realising there is Nothing to say

You broke my heart in one day

Oh yes you did,

Oh yes you did

Outburst on the telephoneNever thought I would feel Like this alone

On an afternoon, on a fridayDon’t know what to say

You did the worst you could doNever expected that from youBut humans are weird species

They can break your heart in pieces
