The latest Tale Teller Club single is off to the distributer.
Here are the lyrics and the the poem that inspired them by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA
We Were Never Really Friends
Sometimes there’s an emptiness
An echo unreturned
A memory now forgotten
Knowing now unlearned
I am stealing shadows
Ones to call my own
Leaping from the chasms
Where Light is never thrown
We were walking to the beat
With nothing on our feet
But the tears that you shed
Were wasted on the dead
‘Cause you know you killed me then
When you lied that we were friends
chorus
On a train to love’s misfortune
Wrapped in hopes belonging
Binding words compelling
On a derailed train
To a bitter end
We were never really friends
I am stealing shadows
Ones to call my own
But you are just a hollow
Where nothing ever grows

The original poem which inspired the song
Fake Friends
It took many years
and a million mistakes
to see
that we
were never friends
I was wrapped
so tightly in
Belonging
The songs were
binding
and the troupes
compelling
But we were
Never really friends
We were passengers
on one another’s
trains
Derailed and destined
for some
grizzly end
We were never ever
Friends
