Day After

'An ode to things left unsaid, ‘Murmurations’ - the name for the aerial dance performed by starlings - provides a compelling glimpse of Clayton’s artistry which pairs her raspy vocal with vivid scene-setting. The brushstrokes are so evocative, you find yourself transported to the song’s location, Brighton - you can taste the sea air, hear the gulls squawking and picture the cafes by the pier.'

LYRICS
Hello, how have you been? 
Where to begin, it’s been so long
But I’ve been catching traces of your face 
In different places where they don’t belong

I know, you were in town lately 
For a weekend by the sea 
But you didn’t call me
Did you see the starlings murmurations by the pier
As the sun set in? 

Cos I’ve been waiting tables 
And whenever I am able to I drift away 
Rehearse, replay
All the things I didn’t say 
Maybe it’s better that way 

So, you moved away - 
Paris you say, but ain’t it burning? 
Funny how the world is turning
Time the tyrant's trumpets blurting 
'March in line'

I’ve been waiting tables
Saving pennies since last April 
And I dream the day away 
Rehearse, replay 
All the things I didn’t say 
Maybe its better that way 

Time is evil 
And all the beautiful people are out 
I'm wretched
Burned out
All rags and misery 
And woe is me 

Its all the things I didn’t say, 
All the ways I made you pay
All the reasons its still raining
Maybe its better that way

Time is evil 
And all the beautiful people are out 
I'm wretched
Burned out
All rags and misery 
And woe is me 

Its all the things I didn’t say, 
All the ways I made you pay
All the reasons its still raining
Maybe its better that way

Murmurations
