Sundays - Daphne Loves Derby

Please

Tell me how you lift these heavy bricks

And how you built this path for me to walk on

Carve yourself in stones

With the strength of all convinced

But I know your skin

Is still as thin as mine

And what does it take to believe

In all the things you believe?

And maybe I need to listen more carefully

I finally know, how you stand

Against the worst there is

You enjoy coffee and Debussy

I can’t believe the calmness in your bones

After everything

And when she dreams

She sees herself in her Sunday dress

Humming simple melodies

She’s known since she was only three

And what does it take to believe

In all the things you believe

And maybe I need to listen more carefully

I finally know, how you stand

Against the worst there is

I finally found

The strength you’ve tried to tell me about

Oh, even when the sky is crashing down

You, You locked your knees and stood up straight

You, Are the strength inside my veins

Oh, I want to feel the strength you know

And what does it take to believe

In all the things you believe

And maybe I need to listen more carefully
