Lyrics of
Mark Perkins Dawe - Shallow Pools

Late in the day, heard someone say,
thought they saw you in some heartbreaker café,
must be mistaken, couldn’t be,
you just wouldn’t do that to you and me,

later that night asked how was your day said,
stuck in the office couldn’t, get away,
I paused for a second, then I just had to say,
a friend thought they saw you,
in some downtown café.

The look in your eyes, un-curtained disguise,
as you tried stumbling through untested lies,
words turned to fog, what truth to believe,
from this now unknown person in front of me,

you looked to the floor, I looked to the sky,
tears in your eyes, shallow pools of lies,
standing in silence I felt no pain,
you walked towards me, I walked away,


I passed you on the street again you tried on a smile,
I just won’t trust, those tears in your eyes,
but I, can’t help wondering, why oh why?
why is it only you that cries,

‘cause I can’t find my heart, there’s just no sign and I’m,
thinkin’ its lost, deep inside,
that vault of secrets you keep hidden behind,
those shallow pools, shallow pools of lies, shallow pools of lies,

‘cause I can’t find my heart, there’s just no sign and I’m,
thinkin’ its lost, deep inside,
that vault of secrets you keep hidden behind,
those shallow pools, shallow pools of lies, shallow pools of lies,
shallow pools of lies,
yeah those shallow pools,
oh, shallow pools.
