Skellig lyrics - David Gray
Oh that the song I'm singing
Was an ocean wide
And that the word I'm bringing
Reaches over to the other side
Each heart a burning vessel
Out on a pitch black wave
Chewing the bone and gristle
When it's the flesh of love we crave
And when a lie starts dancing
Oh boy it sure can run
Be halfway around the world
Before the truth can get its trousers on
And in a nightclub mirror
I caught the merest glimpse
Of my pre-human spirit
Frozen like a deer yeah, in the headlamps
Until it just don't matter
Until we're far from care
And when illusions shatter
You see the carnage everywhere
So with a taste like metal
On through the fog of war
So many hurts like nettles
All growing up around my door
I'm gonna cut that stairway
Yeah with my own bare hands
Up to that high rock plateau
Make my home inside the winds
Inside the winds
Inside the winds
Up to that high rocky plateau
Make my home inside the winds
Dún Laoghaire lyrics - David Gray
There are buried worlds within us
Rainy nights as black as Guinness
Apparitions lodged like splinters
So with thoughts all smudged and beery
Make my way down to Dún Laoghaire
Peek through windows fogged and teary
From the warmth inside
And if you can't learn to love it
'Fraid you're gonna have to shove it
Stacked too high to rise above it
So we're kicking o'er the traces
With two fingers to their faces
And proceeding on the basis
Of inalienable right
And ain't it obvious
By now
There ain't no me and you
Never was
Don't have to be a genius
To work it out
We're all effect without a cause
Watching Oz the great magician
Eyes shut in the brace position
Changed beyond all recognition
And the radius of our footsteps
Spans a world of shattered concepts
Abandoned buildings loom like shipwrecks
In the ebbing tide
And ain't it obvious
By now
There ain't no me and you
Never was
Don't have to be a genius
To work it out
We're all effect without a cause
Is it some ridiculous misplaced
Sense of pride
That keeps me hauling
On the line
Gonna step right out of this
I just can't abide...
If I had a pound for
Every time
Accumulates lyrics - David Gray
Well, it grips and it grins
It cavorts and it gyrates
And it whispers from the wings
Knowingly insinuates
Shines a certain light on things
Emphasising your least likeable traits
Baby, it accumulates
Baby, it accumulates
In the depots, in the silos
On the pallets, in the crates
Down the aisles, wreathed in smiles
In great mountains, on our plates
Like the love of God, it enters you
In all kinds of amorphous states
Baby, it accumulates
Baby, it accumulates
Mindless need is loosed among us
In our homes and down our streets
Singing like some mythic creature
Of great Edens, through the gates
And you can have better suction
Even wanton destruction
And all of this at very competitive rates
Baby, it accumulates
Baby, it accumulates
Baby, it accumulates
Looking down from the highrise
Staring back with your own eyes
Playing games with the numbers
Messing 'round with the dates
Altering its positions
Muttering sweet propositions
Doing its damnedest to get you
Between the sheets
And you might start out
Kicking and screaming
Pretty soon you’re gonna wind up
Sucking on the teats
'Cause, baby, it accumulates
Baby, it accumulates
Baby, it accumulates
Heart And Soul lyrics - David Gray
For something in nothing
A voice in the air
A face in the doorway
In wordless prayer
I'm heart and soul boys
Heart and soul
Wonder shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Not dead only sleeping
Adrift on the sea
The start of the river
The end of me
I'm heart and soul boys
Heart and soul
Glory shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Where truth ain't resented
Where love ain't despised
And misrepresented
And sanitised
I'm heart and soul boys
Heart and soul
Wonder shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
And if I died tonight
To ask for more would be obscene
Surely we earned the right
To drink it pure
Break it clean
That curls in the bracken
That swirls in the dust
And cries to awaken
This wanderlust
I'm heart and soul boys
Heart and soul
Glory shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Shining in my eyes
Like I'm three years old
Laughing Gas lyrics - David Gray
Nothing in the world was ever seen
Write it on the wind
This living dream
Nothing in the world was ever known
Throwing off the weight
Of skin and bone
Ripple on the water
Leaves of grass
Fire into the crowd
With laughing gas
No False Gods lyrics - David Gray
No false gods now
We are love's body or we are undone
No false gods now
We are love's body or we are undone
And you're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
No false gods now
We are love's body or we are undone
And tonight once again
For the first time
And tonight once again
For the first time
Once again
For the first time
No false gods now
We are love's body or we are undone
We are love's body or we are undone
Deep Water Swim lyrics - David Gray
With the weight of the skies
Like a word to the wise
And the thought that preyed
With the road rising up
And the fog in my cup
As we cut to fade
Go from ten down to nought
All the things that we bought
All the plans we made
Oh man will you stop
Talking, offering it up
So sweetly
It just ain't yours to give
Less you own it completely
Feel it sharp in my breast
Coming over the crest
Like the joys of spring
Sense the one with no name
Moving just out of frame
On a gauzy wing
Like a smile as it cracked
Or a face in the act
Of remembering
Oh man will you stop
Talking, offering it up
So sweetly
It just ain't yours to give
Less you own it completely
I wouldn't know
I wouldn't
Hold the truth like a stone
Of the tree that was grown
From a tiny stem
As the note finds its mark
Swallowed up by the arc
Of a darkened limb
It ain't nobody's fault
That it's sere and it's salt
Deep water swim
Oh man will you stop
Talking, offering it up
So sweetly
It just ain't yours to give
Less you own it completely
I wouldn't know
I wouldn't
I wouldn't know
I wouldn't
Spiral Arms lyrics - David Gray
Til I'm caught in your spiral arms
Til I'm caught in your spiral arms
Til I'm caught in your spiral arms
And it all falls away
Lead a skittish horse
Through the fields of gorse
Till the jagged edges soften
Wrap those feet of clay
In the sweet decay
Strip the layers away
Till I'm less than nothing
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
As it all falls away
Scale the dizzy heights
Of that eastern light
Look for life beneath what's frozen
Get our just desserts
We're so close it hurts
But we get there just as the doors are closing
To be caught in your spiral arms
To be caught in your spiral arms
To be caught in your spiral arms
Let it all fall away
So it's skin on skin
Let the games begin
Find a brighter way of growing
If you'd take my hand
Baby help me stand
I'm a cup that's full to overflowing
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
Yeah I'm caught in your spiral arms
Yeah I'm caught in your spiral arms
When I'm caught in your spiral arms
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
And I'm caught in your spiral arms
The White Owl lyrics - David Gray
For to quench my thirst
Into the breakers till my lungs burst
For to still my mind
Down through the echoing blue
In a swallow dive
So damn alive
The tightrope the green lasso
And soft hands to bear me through
I'll be the white owl
Winds cover me
I'll be the white owl
Swooping low
I'll be the white owl
No knowing me
I'll be the white owl
Blood my road
Till the first is last
All the smoke of the future
Pouring out of the past
Every vestige gone
Nothing left but the altar
We found each new day upon
All else gone
The light bends the thought gets skewed
Each sky dancing heart stripped nude
Then I'll be the white owl
Winds cover me
I'll be the white owl
Swooping low
I'll be the white owl
No knowing me
I'll be the white owl
Blood my road
I'll be the white owl
Time cover me
I'll be the white owl
Swooping low
I'll be the white owl
No knowing me
I'll be the white owl
Blood my road
Dares My Heart Be Free lyrics - David Gray
Can I hold it fast
Till the final gasp
Can the tale survive the telling
Will this feeling ever last
And it's a long old slog
With that mean black dog
That calls from the mire
And dares my heart be free
Try to keep it sweet
Baby make ends meet
Heading in the right direction
Just maybe down the wrong street
Speaking through the mesh
With her sumptuous flesh
That ghost in the wires that calls out my name
The mockingbird choir that calls it again
That old mystifier that dares my heart be free
Baby now
Couldn't you just once
Just once let the damn thing be
Going around thinking like that
Won't have nothing left to hold on to
All the subtle ways
That a face betrays
Every hurt that burns within it
In the flicker of its gaze
And as I fall beneath
Well it's a new green leaf
That tells from on high of all that is blessed
In each day that rises east into west
That springs from the bough
And dares my heart be free
Baby now
Couldn't you just once
Just once let the damn thing be
Going around talking like that
Won't have nothing left to hold on to
Feel that autumn wind
Where my hair has thinned
All the cares we never asked for
And all the loves we don't intend
And through my sleepless brains
Well it's an endless train
That pours through the darkness mile after mile
Drinking the diesel, burning the oil
That screams to the night
And dares my heart be free
Dressed from head to toe
In the afterglow
Offering prayers and supplications
To quite what I'll never know
And then it drops so strange
Behind the jagged range
That circle of fire that dares my heart be free
That ghost in the wires that dares my heart be free
That voice from the mire that dares my heart be free
House With No Walls lyrics - David Gray
With face turned away
From what you must say
So each to his reckless reward
We’ve torn up the track
There’s no turning back
Each day now a journey toward
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
The pure mountain air
A robe we shall wear
On calling these spirits to rise
For all the high bluff
They see well enough
What’s there when they look in our eyes
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
Mark it well
When I walk through that door
I’m a whole different person
Not me anymore
Can’t you tell
From the sound my voice makes
I’m a fish flashing silver
Jumping clear out the lake
Children of the freeze
Some quiet if you please
Your father’s got something to say
We’ve tarried too long
Been seeing it all wrong
And he bids you come home right away
To that house with no walls
That house with no walls
That house with no walls
Can't Hurt More Than This lyrics - David Gray
Have you noticed
How it grows
From a point that barely shows
In the harness
For the harvest
Of the love that does enclose
Baby all eyes on the road
Where the future's ghosts explode
Maiming millions
But it can't hurt more than this
Changing focus
Changing shape
Get the dirt down on the tape
In the harness
For the harvest
Of its breath upon the nape
Baby all eyes on the band
Marching into No Man's Land
It's a minefield
But it can't hurt more than this
Baby all eyes on the screen
Where the markets crash and wane
Wiping billions
But it can't hurt more than this
Throw my body
In the hole
With the garbage of my soul
In the harness
I relinquish
Every notion of control
Baby all eyes on the door
Watching for that fiery roar
It's a furnace
But it can't hurt more than this
Baby all eyes on the road
Where the future's ghosts explode
Strafing millions
But it can't hurt more than this
All That We Asked For lyrics - David Gray
We're setting our clocks for the summer
We're spilled out like foam on the sand
And it's all that we asked for and more
Well it's all that we asked for and more
The first light it came like a warning
This moment is all that you own
It's all that we asked for and more
Well it's all that we asked for and more
A lump in my throat to remember
The day I was just seventeen
She peeled back her chest like a curtain
And her heart was translucent and green
And it's all that we asked for and more
Well it's all that we asked for and more
Yeah it's all that we asked for
And if these walls could talk
Think they might have a thing or two to tell
About all the rain drenched
Songs that rang
And tears that fell
The thoughts in my head are like tinder
And your eyes are like flint on a stone
And it's all that we asked for and more
Well it's all that we asked for and more
Yeah it's all that we asked for and more
Well It's all that we asked for and more
The Sapling lyrics - David Gray
Gonna lay down in the grass
And watch that acorn
Split in two
Slowly take root
While the clock upon the wall
Makes idle boasts
And my mind's out cruising
Silent coasts
Though the ghosts of better days
Might twist my eyes
Gonna stand my ground
Watch that sapling rise
Just as long as I've the strength
Well I'll raise that flag
Like a wisp of cloud
From a mountain crag
Now this is awkward
I kept it bottled up too long
Years like tiny drops of rain
On a glassy lake
Leaving nought but circles
In their wake
Though we barely comprehend
What the question is
Only know for certain
The answer's YES
Now this is awkward
I really don't know where to begin
I kept it bottled up too long
I know that feeling too yeah
Don't ask me where the time has gone
I know that feeling too yeah
Days I can't tell no right from wrong
I know that feeling too yeah
I kept it bottled up too long
Know that feeling
Know that feeling
Tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it
Like sunlight breaking through yeah
Tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it
I know that feeling too
Gonna lay down in the grass
And watch that acorn
Split in two
Slowly take root
Gold In A Brass Age lyrics - David Gray
In search of sleep, I close my eyes
My head is filled with buzzing flies
I don't know if you realize
How much it means
Pray tell me where that feeling went
I gave my best by accident
In vain I strive to represent
How much it means
How much it means
How much it means
Now I'm lost for words
My mind fast forwards
It's gone the moment I reach towards
Gets crowded up on top
I'm still trying to hold it up
These people who have lost their faith
Who speak of love but play it safe
Arise you fools
The day is brief
Don't you see how much it means
How much it means
How much it means
How much it means
Every moment I got (yeah)
Every moment I got (yeah) yeah
Every moment I got (yeah)
Every moment I got (yeah)
How much it means, yeah
Every minute I got (yeah)
Every beat of my heart (yeah)
How much it means (yeah)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
It's gone the moment I reach towards
Furthering lyrics - David Gray
Just keep pouring I'll say when
Walk me further in
Lose the weight that's in these bones
Fly like skipping stones
Cross the surface of the water
Till its arms enfold
These drifts of blue
My gift to you
My gift to you
These drifts of blue
These wild drifts of blue
Now the nest has taken wing
And the tree might sing
I'm the ghost of Christmas past
Peeking through the glass
Like an arrow finds its target
It comes back to me
These thoughts all skewed
My gift to you
My gift to you
What we don't know
What we don't know
What we don't know
What we don't know
What we don't know
What we don't know
What we don't know
What we don't know
What we don't know it can't hurt us baby
What we don't know sure can't hurt us baby
What we don't know it can't hurt us baby
What we don't know sure can't hurt us baby
Ridiculous Heart lyrics - David Gray
What was there in the first place
Like a sun rising
Like a sun rising
Lifting out of the haze
Coming home by the long road
I could tell from a mile out
Yeah could tell from a mile out
Just the look on your face
All the keys to the kingdom yeah
And the moon in its phases
Yeah the moon in its phases
May we dance and erase
Ahh ahh ahh
Whatever else
Whatever else now
With an eye to the keyhole
While a shout in the distance
Yeah a shout in the distance
Takes me back to the start
That was deaf to the warnings
Won't take no for an answer
Won't take no for an answer
This ridiculous heart
Won't take no for an answer
Wants you all to its own self
Needs you all to its own self
This unquenchable heart
What was there in the first place
Like a sun rising
Like a sun rising
Lifting out of the haze
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ahh ahh ahh
Whatever else
Whatever else now
What was there in the first place
Like a sun rising
What was there in the first place
Like a sun rising
What was there in the first place
Like a sun rising
Like a sun rising
Like a sun
It's Late lyrics - David Gray
It's late, wake up
Baby wake up it's late
It's late wake up
Baby wake up it's late
Diving into that sea of images
Thundering white horses
Ever frozen in stasis
No turning back baby
From where we're going
No turning back baby
From where we're going
Like a feeling that's more
Than a heart can hold
Somehow controlled
Multiplied a billionfold
A billionfold
A billionfold
You know how it is
It's late wake up
Honey wake up it's late
It's late wake up
Baby wake up, it's late
It's yours alone honey
It's yours alone
So please wake up
Baby wake up, it's late
A Tight Ship lyrics - David Gray
The better then
To know myself
That fear be damned
And love be wealth
To sing it like
A mountain stream
To dance like no-one sees
That blinked an eye
That flashed a smile
But missed it by
A country mile
Now sleek to dive
In mirrored pools
And dance like no-one sees
So seize the day
Yeah aim it true
We'll live the way
That lovers do
We'll go defenceless
Open wide
We'll let the senses
Be our guide
We'll break the surface
Snip these strings
Relearn the grace
Of selfless things
We'll dance like no-one sees
Dance like no-one sees
We'll dance like no-one sees
Now sleek to dive in mirrored pools
So sleek to dive in mirrored pools
In mirrored pools so sleek to dive
To kiss the face
To snip the strings
Relearn the grace
Of selfless things
Then sleek to dive
(Tonight we dance like no-one sees us)
So sleek to dive
And sleek to dive
(Tonight we dance like no-one sees us)
So sleek to dive
Then sleek to dive
(Tonight we dance like no-one sees)
Watching The Waves lyrics - David Gray
I'm here watching the waves
Just how long can it be
Till that melody strays
Through my mind and I'm cancelled
Can't see no wood for the trees
Can't tell the land from the sky
When you're in up to your knees
Soon find out who your friends are
Ah for the taste of it sweet
One more time from the top
Thoughts like crumbs in the sheets
Words thrown like coins in a cup
Just one more house in the rain
Just one more spoonful of salt
And now I'm at it again
Banging on like it's my fault
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are I long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are I long to be
I gave it all I could give
I took that ghost for my bride
Went day by day trying to live
With my heart on the outside
I watched the shape of it rise
To dance like wind through the wheat
And steal the light from your eyes
In the space of a heartbeat
And everything fills with distance
Yeah everything
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are I long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are I long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are I long to be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Everything you are I long to be
Songs that push through the dirt
Ploughing these roads into fields
Sounding the notes of the words
Till everything fills with distance
Hall Of Mirrors lyrics - David Gray
Life in these mirrored halls
Rings hollow bright
Hearts grown like icicles
In dead of night
The weight of longing falls
And spirit crush
Then as my engine stalls
That oh too solid ground
Comes rising up
Faith versus charity
Fake versus real
Salt versus vanity
Click versus feel
Gap between what we say
And what we mean
Still love you anyway
Not ours to reason why
We can but dream
Baby let's dream ooo ooo ooh
Let's go Let's go Let's go
Let's go go Let's go Let's go
Not ours to reason why
Not ours to reason
Not ours to reason why
Not ours to reason
Baby when that oh too solid ground
Comes a rising up
Hey now don't look down now
Baby when that oh too solid ground
Comes a rising up
Hey now don't look down now
Baby when that oh too solid ground
Comes a rising up
Hey now don't look down now
Baby when that oh too solid ground
Comes a rising up
Hey now don't look down now
Hurricane Season lyrics - David Gray
This is hurricane season
Hurricane season
Just how did I get
So tired and mean
With eyes that flicker
Like a movie screen
A brand new ceiling
Same old deluge
Put finer feelings
In the centrifuge
It gets as if the merest breath
Of wind could knock me down
Gets as if the merest breath of wind
Could knock me down
And this is hurricane season
Straight from the ocean
All shiny white
Can't get that image
Out of my head tonight
It gets as if the merest breath
Of wind could knock me down
It gets as if the merest breath
Of wind could knock me down
Gets as if the merest breath of wind
Could knock me down
And this is hurricane season
Hurricane season
This is hurricane season
Hurricane season
So what do we do but make-believe
What do we do yeah
So what do we do but make-believe
What do we do yeah
So what do we do but make-believe
What do we do yeah
So what do we do but make-believe
What do we do yeah
Mallory lyrics - David Gray
Ah to be lost
However briefly
Lost in a place
Yeah such as this
Was to be free
Of the shackles of the known roads
Yeah to be free
Of all that is
I cleaved to the wind
And I saw it far beneath me
The whale of a lie
Something blue among the trees
The face of the wave
That stole my breath as it engulfed me
The print of my eye
On all it sees
Deaf to reason calling out to me
Deaf to reason crying out
Deaf to reason calling out to me
She spoke and my head
Was full of murmurs like a green field
That last that we saw
He disappeared into clouds
Should that moment arise
Well I'll be running I'll be spring heeled
The taste of your words inside my mouth
The taste of your words inside my mouth
The taste of your words inside my mouth
Deaf to reason calling out to me
Deaf to reason crying out
Deaf to reason calling out to me
Our shadows at dawn
Our shadows at dawn
Oh my god
Our shadows at dawn
Well they were rising up to meet us
Our shadows at dawn
Oh my god
Our shadows at dawn
Yeah they were rising up to meet us
Our shadows at dawn
Oh my god
If 8 Were 9 lyrics - David Gray
If skin should touch
And words evaporate
Trouble clear outta sight
With my whole body listenin'
My heart leans out
Like these old river trees
Closer to be where you glide
Movin' under me, glistenin'
If 8 were 9
I would hold you
Yeah I would rock you
I would shelter you darlin'
If 8 were 9
I would lift you
Lift you clear off the ground
Through the gates into morning
That time would stretch
Stretch out these magic hours
Into days into years
Tomorrow lost in the distance
A voice speaks out
Says "Hey man, let it go"
But when a heart has been true
Well it don't make any difference
If 8 were 9
Yeah I would hold you
Yeah I would rock you
I would shelter you darlin'
If 8 were 9
I would lift you
Lift you clear off the ground
Through the gates into morning
If 8 were 9
If 8 were 9
If 8 were 9
Through the gates into morning, yeah
Yeah
Through the gates into morning
Destroyer lyrics - David Gray
More panic than intent
More luck than good judgment
They're raising your body from the ground
The dreamer has woken
The spirit has spoken
They're raising your body from the ground
What you gonna do when the rain comes through
On your pretty head
Is it so easy to pretend?
Like visions of Goya
The silent destroyer
They're raising your body from the ground
From the ground
What you gonna do when it all comes through
On your weary head
Is it so easy to pretend?
You want it
You need it
Break your back, now feed it
They're raising your body from the ground
Oh yeah
They're raising your body from the ground
From the ground
They're raising your body from the ground
Yeah
From the ground
Hole In The Weather lyrics - David Gray
Crawling out through a hole in the weather
That I might go and see
We came out from it light as a feather
Not in my wildest dreams
Not in my wildest dreams
Possibility loomed like a city
Repeated every phrase
Found it in every cell of my body
The senses [?] in me
The senses [?] in me
The senses [?] in me
Ride the punches, a slave to the rhythm
Brace for the full impact
Someone else starin' back from the mirror
Checks that it's still intact
Checks that it's still intact
Checks that it's still intact
It's always been there
I forgot to notice it, is all
Forgot to notice
How much I love this place
I really love this place
How much I love this place
Yeah, I really love this place
Dear God, I love this place
I forgot to notice it, is all
I really love this place
I forgot to notice it, is all
How much I love this place
I forgot to notice it, is all
I really love this place
Forgot to notice
Such a cynic, and loathe to admit it
[?] to your shell
See the hawk in the teeth of the gale
Mark out his eye-hole still
See how he's had his [?]
[?] higher still
Place To Be lyrics - David Gray
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
Now I'm older, see it face to face
Yeah, now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grew and the sun shone still
(Now I'm darker) Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
(Just hand me down) Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
(Now I'm weaker) Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
(Oh, so weak) Oh, so weak in this need for you
(Now I'm weaker) Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
(Oh, so weak) Oh, so weak in this need for you
Seems So Long Ago, Nancy lyrics - David Gray
(originally by Leonard Cohen)
It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
Looking ate the Late Late show
Through a semi-precious stone
In the House of Honesty
Her father was on trial
In the House of Mystery
There was no one at all
There was no one at all
It seems so long ago
None of us were strong
Nancy wore green stockings
And she slept with everyone
She never said she'd wait for us
Although she was alone
I think she fell in love for us
In nineteen sixty one
In nineteen sixty one
It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
A forty five beside her head
An open telephone
We told her she was beautiful
We told her she was free
But none of us would meet her in
The House of Mystery
The House of Mystery
And now you look around you
See her everywhere
Many use her body
Many comb her hair
In the hollow of the night
When you are cold and numb
You hear her talking freely then
She's happy that you've come
So happy that you've come
Smoke Without Fire lyrics - David Gray
Perfect pictures tore in two
Pick your moments, surely do
And what the hell got into you
Anyway
Road like silver, sky like silk
Drink it down like mother's milk
You drink that cup until it melts
Away
(Step to the mark)
Yeah, that my journey might begin
(Open the door)
Into the dark and walk right in
And he wouldn't leave
No, he wouldn't leave
Yeah
(I put on the mask)
Yeah, that my journey might begin
(Next thing I knew)
Caught in a war I couldn't win
(I reached out for you)
Open the door, then rush right in
And they wouldn't leave
No, they wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
Yeah, they wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
And what the hell got into you
Anyway
Tell Me More Lies lyrics - David Gray
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
On the blue television
And the idiots kissin'
And making excuses
For all that fails
Break it down now, break it down, break it
The wind like a dagger
It's tearing my sails
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
From my father and mother
Had a room in a tower
Breathe in the hours like chloroform
And there's something within me
I wanna express it
But how do you paint it
When it's got no form
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned what to say
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
Now the women are speaking
Of loves that have perished
Of memories cherished
And the fools men are
How many times
How many times
How many
If only, if only
La la la
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
And tell me more lies
And tell me more lies
And tell me more lies
Tell me more
The Arc lyrics - David Gray
The arc of sound
It's the prism of the human heart
Unspoiled, they're yearning
My feet are on that circular path
And I'm returning
Yeah, I'm returning, I'm back to the place
I've never been
Eyes like two headlights in the fog
The slate wiped clean
Like a beast, it sounds
Through the chasm of the beaten heart
And now I'm burning
Like greenwood upon the fire
In my returning
Heading out upon this coast of a road
Beyond the reach of desire
Desire, desire
Desire, desire
Desire, desire
Birth pains of the new moon
I hope this spell don't break too soon
Last bones are the old new
Well I hope that I don't wake too soon
Dreams scrolling back through the years
Laid out like rings on a tree
Feed a feeling for the path
The circle turning me
Returning me back to the place
I'll never be
The arc of sound
It's the prism of the human heart
Year-round, it splits
And I see you standing there inside of its
Dark, bright rainbow
Yeah, you're standing there inside of its
Dark, bright rainbow
Dark, bright rainbow
Dark, bright rainbow
Feed a feeling for the path
The slate wiped clean
One moment wintery and gray
Next moment bountiful and green
One moment wintery and gray
Next moment bountiful and green
One moment wintery and gray
Next moment bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
