 with my own hands              when I make<br/>
             love to your    memory<br/>
 its not the same               I miss the<br/>
           thunder   I miss the rain<br/>
 <br/>
 and the fact that you don't understand<br/>
 casts a shadow over this land<br/>
 * but the sun still shines from behind it<br/>

 thanks all the same          but I cant<br/>
               bring myself to answer your letters<br/>
 its not your  fault            but your<br/>
              honesty touches me like a fire<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 the polaroids that hold us together<br/>
  must surely fade away<br/>
 like the love that we spoke of forever on saint swithins day<br/>
