Gareth Inkster - Hydro Poles Lyrics

One afternoon while lying head-to-toe
Beneath your bay window
I was wondering if you'd ever let me down

See, like the wires hung from the hydro poles
I need your loving hold
Every now and then to keep me off the ground

But, in sad irony
I couldn't let myself be seen
And lost my sensitivity

To feel the fabric of your sweater sleeves
Or smell the autumn leaves
From the window wide beside your bed, well

These were the things which meant the world to me
But I just couldn't see
How we take for granted most the things we need

But, much to my chagrin
I began to thaw within
And I saw just how cold I'd been

It's not because you couldn't give me love
But 'cause I couldn't receive
It's not because I never told you, love
But you could never believe
You could never believe
You could never believe
You could never believe
