sticks 'n' stones - karine polwart lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m bruised by the early morning
i hear the whole house breathing

[verse 2]
footsteps in empty hallways
they fall with the sound of leaving

[bridge]
inch lines on doorframes
and thumbprints on window panes
ghosts of hereafter
kitchen walls pock marked
with shadows of blue tack
and riddled with laughter
scars where the bed stood
and names scored on old wood
and dreams in the rafters
secrets in timbers
and tears spilled on red bells
and hopes in the plastеrboard

[verse 3]
out in the world of numbers
one door doеsn’t count at all
[chorus]
it’s just sticks ‘n’ stones (and our dreams in the rafters)
it’s just sticks ‘n’ stones (and our hopes in the plasterboard)
it’s just sticks ‘n’ stones (and our dreams in the rafters)
it’s just sticks ‘n’ stones (and our hopes in the plasterboard)
it’s just sticks ‘n’ stones (and our dreams in the rafters)
it’s just sticks ‘n’ stones (and our stories)

[instrumental outro]
