dove grey - ella hunt lyrics

[verse 1]
emily’s bedroom is dove grey and drying
it smells of men at work
cups of tea left on the side
half drunk and beige, there are sweet peas in a vase
mum’s hanging laundry on the line
the lady from the hospice says “such a lovely shade”
telling long winded anecdotes about a purple coat of paint
her husband chose and then complained
but it looks like lavender when it rains
and out in the garden there isn’t time for planting seeds
marina’s shipped in a couple of trees
and you can see them from where em sleeps
the nurse left morphine if she needs
her eyes fl!ck open when the floorboard creaks
the floorboard creaks

[verse 2]
mostly i wash up and keep the kids entertained
practice emotional restraint
call thomas when it gets a little hard
and sometimes i sit with her and draw lines over her face
saying simple affirmations
like how good the earl grey tastes
watch her shallow inhalations, saying “you’re okay, you’re safe”
saying “what a lovely shade of dove grey”
saying “you can go now, it’s okay”
saying “what a lovely shade of dove grey”
