slender, sad and sentimental (original demo)

from Historical Record vol. 3&4 Learning To Sail by Josienne Clarke

lyrics

I’ve been stringing lines of simplicity
I’ve been simply saying things as I see them
Slender, sad and sentimental

I want poise, poetry and pride
A deep complexity in which to hide
I’ve been living it all on the outside
Slender, sad and sentimental

I’ve been wearing my woes to widely
I’ve had pursed lips pinned and peaky
I’m grinning through gritted teeth
I’ve been gurning at you, yearning to yield

Poise, poetry and pride
A deep complexity in which to hide
I’ve been living it all on the outside
Slender, sad and sentimental

I dream of deep dark depths
The ocean blue and vast
But I’m just bobbing on the surface
A-waving from the mast

I want poise, poetry and pride
A deep complexity in which to hide
I’ve been living it all on the outside
Slender, sad and sentimental
