[00:00.00]Undone - David Tennant
[00:01.84]Welcome to the late night tales story undone
[00:05.46]Written by Anam Sufi
[00:07.83]Read by David Tennant
[00:11.95]Here is the truth
[00:13.69]Exactly how I remember it
[00:16.07]And perhaps in being so it is inevitably undone
[00:21.82]Here when the hour is late and the bottle long gone
[00:25.53]Where thoughts like constellations blur in and out of focus
[00:29.18]Nothing more than buoyant memories aqueous melancholy
[00:34.60]The shoreline recedes into darkness
[00:37.40]Betraying grains of the past
[00:40.14]They catch light of the moon
[00:42.06]Giving song and sparkle to this late night tale
[00:46.91]Here's the truth I swear
[00:49.29]Word for word picking through a pile of sedimentary emotion
[00:54.76]The crackle of fire the cold in my bones
[00:58.18]And the pitter patter of rain takes me back
[01:01.28]Echoes of footfalls crushing fallen leaves
[01:04.57]All that's left of the yellow wood
[01:07.23]Racing back in time
[01:09.19]Back to where it all started the beginning of the end
[01:16.37]We'd set up camp between risk and consequence
[01:19.40]Reckless in a way that only youth can know
[01:22.51]Our hearts a cursor pulsing
[01:25.79]Eager to forge the story of our lives
[01:29.89]There was no such thing as a photo without flash
[01:32.42]A song without bass or too much faith in the future
[01:36.99]Little did we know
[01:41.74]What happened over what is felt is of little consequence
[01:45.54]The sheer impact of remaining impervious to desire
[01:49.77]You to me a hem caught by a hook in time
[01:54.72]Inexplicably attached like the deadweight subscription of newspapers
[01:59.22]In a digital world of click stories and shot glass love affairs
[02:04.44]The orchestra of our past carries on listlessly
[02:08.66]Erratic yet somehow segued like time
[02:14.97]And all of our choices embalmed incubate the senses
[02:19.91]The smell of your skin the sound of your breath
[02:24.85]The question mark curve in your ear
[02:28.23]Now these seem hollow like the nape of your neck
[02:32.59]Where once I touched and felt you
[02:36.27]Alas remember the end
[02:40.86]Outside the Admiral I inhaled I exhaled reflecting
[02:50.04]I didn't notice you arrive
[02:51.43]But you stood there alongside me as the rain fell down
[02:56.06]I don't think this was a good idea I said lying
[03:01.94]You shuffled your weight on both feet and
[03:03.86]I knew you wanted to say something
[03:06.25]I didn't let you and you disappeared
[03:09.29]Like mist suspended in sight betrayed by my grasp
[03:16.08]How I wish I'd run after you and said
[03:18.39]Hold me like you would a photograph
[03:20.63]From the edges and lightly
[03:23.97]Because anything more and I'd be stained sullied by
[03:27.82]The desire of what would always and inevitably leave me undone
[03:41.91]You been listening to late night tales
[03:44.33]Musical story work stand up for
