Black Flies

Ben Howard feat. Daughter - Black Flies

Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to know
Winter stole summer’s thrill
And the river’s cracked and cold

See the sky is no man’s land
A darkened plume to stay
Hope here needs a humble hand
Not a fox found in your place

No man is an island, this I know
But can’t you see?
Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone

Black flies on the windowsill
That we are
That we are
That we are to hold
Comfort came against my will
And every story must grow old

Still I’ll be a traveler
A gypsy’s reins to face
But the road is wearier
With that fool found in your place

No man is an island, this I know
But can’t you see?
Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone

So here we are

[Instrumental]

Oh I don’t wanna beg your pardon
And I don’t wanna ask you why
But if I was to go my own way
Would I have to pass you by?

Oh I don’t wanna beg your pardon
And I don’t wanna ask you why
But if I was to go my own way
Would I have to pass you by?

Listening to Naseem sing to Aleena is adorable his made up songs crack me up it’s the cutest thing ever.

Aleena my princess
You are so adorable
Daddy has no idea what rhymes with adorable.
You are so tiny
You are so small
Whatever you want
I’ll give you it all
You’re gonna be so spoiled
But that’s alright
Because you’re the sweetest chunky monkey in sight

Smother - Daughter
I’m sorry if I smothered you
I sometimes wish I’d stayed
Inside my mother
Never to come out
