It Beats Me

Gemma Hayes


Did I watch you wash away your life 
And polish up the forks and knifes 
And left the kitchen crystal clear 
Did you put me in my resting place 
Beside the cups there was no place for fear 

There's someone calling for me 
Just see a new talk 
Don't listen to me 

We go through the hoops 
Before you know it beats me 

Did I watch you wash away your life 
And polish up the forks and knifes 
And I watch the crystal disappear 
Did I try to run to your defence 
And make some jokes at my expense 
And watch you boil some water for the sake of it 

There's someone calling for me 
Just see a new talk 
Don't listen to me 

Hail Mary, motherless grace
