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
Back In The World lyrics - David Gray
Every day when I open my eyes now
It feels like a Saturday
Taking down from the shelf
All the parts of myself
That I packed away
If it's Love lifts us up from the dark
Is it God by another name
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is
I'm back in the world again
Like the lift of a curse
Got a whole different person
Inside my head
No more trudging around
Stony eyed through the town
Like the living dead
If it's Love put the joy in my heart
Is it God by another name
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is
I'm back in the world again
Back in the world again
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
Less than sand on the beach
Staring into the reaches of Space and Time
I'm singing out words
But the voice that I hear
It seems barely mine
If it's Love put the song in my heart
Is it God by another name
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is
I'm back in the world again
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is
I'm back in the world again
Back in the world again
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
Every day when I open my eyes
Yeah yeah
Every day when I open my eyes
Yeah yeah
It feels like a Saturday
Taking down from the shelf
All the parts of myself
That I packed away
If it's Love lifts us up from the dark
Is it God by another name
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is
I'm back in the world again
Like the lift of a curse
Got a whole different person
Inside my head
No more trudging around
Stony eyed through the town
Like the living dead
If it's Love put the joy in my heart
Is it God by another name
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is
I'm back in the world again
Back in the world again
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
Less than sand on the beach
Staring into the reaches of Space and Time
I'm singing out words
But the voice that I hear
It seems barely mine
If it's Love put the song in my heart
Is it God by another name
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is
I'm back in the world again
Who's to say how it goes
All I know is
I'm back in the world again
Back in the world again
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
I'm naked like a tree
It's the only way to be
Every day when I open my eyes
Yeah yeah
Every day when I open my eyes
Yeah yeah
As The Crow Flies lyrics - David Gray
A part of me pre
A part of me post
A part of me present
One part of me ghost
A part of me wants to run
One part of me flowing
One part stopping dead
One part of me knowing
It’s all in my head
Sometimes when I’m open wide
A part of me tries to hide
Take all of me once
Take all of me twice
A love with no limit
Is worth any price
Not far to the good stuff
As the crow flies
A part of me earth
A part of me sky
One part of me sober
One part of me high
One part of me quiet
One part of me bold
A part of me dying
For the truth to be told
In all of my time before
Never wanted something more
Take all of me once
Take all of me twice
Take all of me stupid
Take all of me wise
Not far to the good stuff
As the crow flies
Not far to the good stuff
As the crow flies
Baby take me wise
Like the old crow flies
Baby take me wise
Like the old crow flies
Baby take me wise
Like the old crow flies
Baby take me wise
A part of me post
A part of me present
One part of me ghost
A part of me wants to run
One part of me flowing
One part stopping dead
One part of me knowing
It’s all in my head
Sometimes when I’m open wide
A part of me tries to hide
Take all of me once
Take all of me twice
A love with no limit
Is worth any price
Not far to the good stuff
As the crow flies
A part of me earth
A part of me sky
One part of me sober
One part of me high
One part of me quiet
One part of me bold
A part of me dying
For the truth to be told
In all of my time before
Never wanted something more
Take all of me once
Take all of me twice
Take all of me stupid
Take all of me wise
Not far to the good stuff
As the crow flies
Not far to the good stuff
As the crow flies
Baby take me wise
Like the old crow flies
Baby take me wise
Like the old crow flies
Baby take me wise
Like the old crow flies
Baby take me wise
Mutineers lyrics - David Gray
You know the way it is
These thoughts are mutineers
Trying to shake the monkey off my back
So beat the island drum
And steady as she come
And all the stores are closing for the lack
To drink the damn place dry
Only plan of attack
And Babe
Sure feels good
Sure feels good
This moving close
This moving close
Sure feels good babe
And Hey
What could they know
What could they know
Bout what we have
Yeah what we have
What could they know Babe?
The early warning signs
All lit up in my mind
It’s true you know
Some things weren’t meant to be
Until your secret’s out
It’s your worst enemy
And Babe
Sure feels good
Sure feels good
This moving close
This moving close
Sure feels good babe
And Hey
What could they know
What could they know
Bout what we have
Yeah what we have
What could they know Babe?
Time is ours to burn
Is ours to burn
We got that glide
That freewheel glide
It’s ours to burn babe
Oh Babe
Sure feels good
Sure feels good
This moving close
This moving close
Sure feels good babe
These thoughts are mutineers
Trying to shake the monkey off my back
So beat the island drum
And steady as she come
And all the stores are closing for the lack
To drink the damn place dry
Only plan of attack
And Babe
Sure feels good
Sure feels good
This moving close
This moving close
Sure feels good babe
And Hey

Beautiful Agony lyrics - David Gray
I felt something snap
Looked up and you were gone
Clean through the gap somewhere
That I can’t get to
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Batten hatches
Full survival mode
A word that
Catches in my throat
Short Pause
And then the full force
Knocks me sideways
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Once upon a time
It wasn’t like this
Love was mine
So what the hell
Is after happening here
I’m stepping out
Into the roar
Trying to hear that voice
Saying Hey
Don’t worry
It’s alright
Don’t worry
Ah now Dave
Don’t worry
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Read somewhere
In Neptune’s
Methane skies
It might be
Raining diamonds
Looked up and you were gone
Clean through the gap somewhere
That I can’t get to
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Batten hatches
Full survival mode
A word that
Catches in my throat
Short Pause
And then the full force
Knocks me sideways
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Once upon a time
It wasn’t like this
Love was mine
So what the hell
Is after happening here
I’m stepping out
Into the roar
Trying to hear that voice
Saying Hey
Don’t worry
It’s alright
Don’t worry
Ah now Dave
Don’t worry
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Love vandalising me
With beautiful agony
Read somewhere
In Neptune’s
Methane skies
It might be

Last Summer lyrics - David Gray
Baby, make like we did last summer
Baby, make like we did last year
Dived, plunged into your eyes
Living every hour like a century
There will I always be
Want it, not till it’s good and ready
Good and ready to break like a diamond wave
Diamond wave yeah, to take me and drag me under
So far under, that I can’t hardly breathe
Dived, plunged into your eyes
Living every hour like a century
There will I always be
Baby, make like we did last year
Dived, plunged into your eyes
Living every hour like a century
There will I always be
Want it, not till it’s good and ready
Good and ready to break like a diamond wave
Diamond wave yeah, to take me and drag me under
So far under, that I can’t hardly breathe
Dived, plunged into your eyes
Living every hour like a century

Snow In Vegas lyrics - David Gray
Lying here with you on top of me
There’s nowhere on this earth that I’d rather be
And just when I was thinking
We’d come about as far
As this old road could take us
Time to pull on over baby
Yeah just stop the car
And it falls like snow in Vegas
So we’ll hang that sign up
On the door
So the hotel maid don’t wake us
Now pigs can fly
And I’ll command these breakers
Ah now Baby
Where you been so long
I’ve missed you like a river baby
Deep and strong
And just when I was thinking
We’d come about as far
As this old road could take us
Time to pull on over baby
Yeah just stop the car
And it falls like snow in Vegas
So we’ll leave that sign up
On the door
So the hotel maid don’t wake us
Now pigs can fly
And I’ll command these breakers
And anything you want yeah
Anything at all
Any little thing you’re needing
All you do is call
Got my money where my mouth is
The sugar’s in the cane
If I had a million dollars
I’d blow it on champagne
A million bucks champagne yeah
It wouldn’t touch the sides
No-one’s gonna put a foot wrong
It’s one of those nights
And just when I was thinking
We’d come about as far
As this old road could take us
Time to pull on over baby
Yeah just stop the car
Then it falls like snow in Vegas
We’re vain yeah and we’re greedy
We’re selfish and we’re needy
But it’s just the way God made us
Now pigs can fly
And I’ll command these breakers
There’s nowhere on this earth that I’d rather be
And just when I was thinking
We’d come about as far
As this old road could take us
Time to pull on over baby
Yeah just stop the car
And it falls like snow in Vegas
So we’ll hang that sign up

Birds Of The High Arctic lyrics - David Gray
Baby say it isn’t true
You were never there
It wasn’t you
It’s more than I can do
To try and keep it shiny new
The gap just opens up
Between the words we like to use
And the thing that’s seen
Seen through your eyes now darling
In blue distances calling
Like the birds of the high arctic
And you don’t have to make the move
No there ain’t nothing left to prove
Accept the plain unvarnished truth
It’s a part of you you can’t remove
Like a love that’s been
There ain’t no answers darling
Just blue distances calling
Like the birds of the high arctic
They’re calling
Like the birds of the high arctic
This darling
For the light in your eyes sparked it
Two sheets to the wind
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
Baby say that it isn’t true
You were never there and it wasn’t you
Never there wasn’t you
Baby say that it isn’t true
You were never there
Never there wasn’t you
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
Like the birds of the high arctic
You were never there
It wasn’t you
It’s more than I can do
To try and keep it shiny new
The gap just opens up
Between the words we like to use
And the thing that’s seen
Seen through your eyes now darling
In blue distances calling

And you don’t have to make the move
No there ain’t nothing left to prove

The Incredible lyrics - David Gray

Girl Like You lyrics - David Gray
Shaking off the morning dew
No I never met a girl like you
Trying to see the land as it lies
Is like driving with the sun in my eyes
Not a thought in my head what to do
Cos I never met a girl like you
Clear in your head when you’re setting those sights
Fear in your bed when the loneliness bites
Try to get rid we’ll be hitting those heights
I’m working on it
I’m working on it
I’m working on it
I’m working on it
I’m working on it
Yeah working on it
Someone left the door ajar
Now I’ve no idea who you are
Not a thought in my head what to do
Cos I never met a girl like you
Clear in your head when you’re setting those sights
Fear in your bed when the loneliness bites
Try to get rid we’ll be hitting those heights
I’m working on it
I’m working on it
I’m working on it
I’m working on it
I’m working on it
Yeah working on it
I’m working on it
Ah working on it
Well I’m trying to fit one in the other
But 7 into 5 don’t go
I’m trying to get along with my brother
But my brother is so hard to know
I don’t want no soul to suffer
But it’s not an easy line to toe
So I’m working on it
Ah working on it
Don’t know what you are to me
Don’t know where I want to be
Don’t know what you are to me
Don’t know where I want to be
Gulls lyrics - David Gray
This land belongs to the gulls
And the gulls to their cry
And their cry to the wind
And the wind belongs to no-one
The wind belongs to no-one
I gave my breath to the song
To the song, wasn't mine
Neither of ship nor of sea
Neither of glass nor of wine
Leaving this ghost of a road
I'm climbing hand over hand
Toward that pinprick of light
Toward the seed that God sowed
Toward the seed that God sowed
Toward the seed that God sowed
Toward the seed that God sowed
Oh Baby
Try to recognise it in my mind
Try to stamp it out before it happens
Yeah I try to recognise it in my mind
Try to stamp it out
The writing's on, the writing's on
The writing's on the wall
The writing's on, the writing's on
The writing's on the wall [x4]
This land belongs to the gulls
And the gulls to their cry
And their cry to the wind
And their cry to the wind
And their cry to the wind
And the gulls to their cry
And their cry to the wind
And the wind belongs to no-one
The wind belongs to no-one
I gave my breath to the song
To the song, wasn't mine
Neither of ship nor of sea
Neither of glass nor of wine
Leaving this ghost of a road
I'm climbing hand over hand
Toward that pinprick of light
Toward the seed that God sowed
Toward the seed that God sowed
Toward the seed that God sowed
Toward the seed that God sowed
Oh Baby
Try to recognise it in my mind
Try to stamp it out before it happens
Yeah I try to recognise it in my mind
Try to stamp it out
The writing's on, the writing's on
The writing's on the wall
The writing's on, the writing's on
The writing's on the wall [x4]
This land belongs to the gulls
And the gulls to their cry
And their cry to the wind
And their cry to the wind
And their cry to the wind
Only The Wine lyrics - David Gray
Sprung like a wild orchid
Curled like a wave
Hanging like wood smoke yeah
In the airy glade
Only the wine talking
Only the wine
Head spinning, mouth open
Time after time
Sympathetic
Won’t forget it
Hope I never live to see the day
Gone forever
Ah whatever
Help me find the way
Home
Coiled in my synapses
Poised like a snake
There as the time lapses
And the levee breaks
Only the wine talking
Only the wine
Head spinning, mouth open
Time after time
Sympathetic
Won’t forget it
Hope I never live to see the day
Gone forever
Ah whatever
Help me find the way
The way
The way
Home

Only the wine talking
Only the wine
Head spinning, mouth open
Time after time
Sympathetic
Won’t forget it
Hope I never live to see the day
Gone forever
Ah whatever
Help me find the way

Forgetting lyrics - David Gray
Crawling then walking
Then running and sweating
Forgetting
Lying and cheating
Aiding and abetting
Forgetting
Itching and scratching
Punching and hitting
Forgetting, Forgetting, Forgetting
Forgetting
Reminding rewinding
Removing regretting
Forgetting
Your smiles at the wake and
Your tears at the wedding
Forgetting, Forgetting, Forgetting
Forgetting
Forgetting, Forgetting, Forgetting
Forgetting
Spellbound and hellbound
And caught in the netting
Forgetting
A wiping it clean
A minute Armageddon
Forgetting, Forgetting, Forgetting
Forgetting
Forgetting, Forgetting, Forgetting
Forgetting
Forgetting, Forgetting, Forgetting

Then running and sweating
Forgetting
Lying and cheating
Aiding and abetting

Your smiles at the wake and
Your tears at the wedding

Gossamer Thread lyrics - David Gray
Talking with the old folks by the wall
Dreaming ‘bout New Orleans in the Fall
And grateful for the time that God allows
And doing my best to keep it hid
Hanging by a gossamer thread
Roll on up it’s feeding time again
A kiss to suck the lightning from the pain
I’m hatching us a plan for busting out
And free of what that bastard did
Hanging by a gossamer thread
All lit up like the National Grid
And hanging by a gossamer thread
You’re choking on your daily bread
Hanging by a gossamer thread
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Away !
I hope that I’m wrong
Hope that I’m wrong
I hope that I’m wrong
Yeah
I hope that I’m wrong
Hope that I’m wrong
I hope that I’m wrong
Yeah
Dreaming ‘bout New Orleans in the Fall
And grateful for the time that God allows
And doing my best to keep it hid
Hanging by a gossamer thread
Roll on up it’s feeding time again
A kiss to suck the lightning from the pain
I’m hatching us a plan for busting out
And free of what that bastard did
Hanging by a gossamer thread
All lit up like the National Grid
And hanging by a gossamer thread
You’re choking on your daily bread
Hanging by a gossamer thread
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Away !
I hope that I’m wrong
Hope that I’m wrong
I hope that I’m wrong
Yeah
I hope that I’m wrong
Hope that I’m wrong
I hope that I’m wrong
Yeah
The Old Chair lyrics - David Gray
The old chair
The old chair
It gets that they don’t want it anymore
The split seams
And bad dreams
I’m fluttering like a dollar to the floor
You get to wonder what you do it for
And if you’re not there to meet me
Only shadows gonna greet me
The moment I go stepping through the door
My heart pounds
I hear sounds
Like laughter coming softly through the walls
The high times
Turn sidelines
This game it makes a fool out of us all
You’re off but you ain’t hardly
Kicked the ball
And if you’re not there to meet me
Only absence gonna greet me
The moment I go stepping through the door
And if you’re not there to meet me
Just what is gonna greet me
The moment I go stepping through the door
The old chair
It gets that they don’t want it anymore
The split seams
And bad dreams
I’m fluttering like a dollar to the floor
You get to wonder what you do it for
And if you’re not there to meet me
Only shadows gonna greet me
The moment I go stepping through the door
My heart pounds
I hear sounds
Like laughter coming softly through the walls
The high times
Turn sidelines
This game it makes a fool out of us all
You’re off but you ain’t hardly
Kicked the ball
And if you’re not there to meet me
Only absence gonna greet me
The moment I go stepping through the door
And if you’re not there to meet me
Just what is gonna greet me
The moment I go stepping through the door
In God's Name lyrics - David Gray
What in God’s name
Were we thinking of?
What in God’s name
Were we thinking of?
Wrapping a ghost in cellophane
You’ve got to earn the right
Shouting the odds and everybody loves a good fight
Break in and move the furniture
Work on a kiss denied
Climbing the walls and everybody loves a good fight
Loves a good fight
What in God’s name
Were we thinking of?
Of......
Were we thinking of?
What in God’s name
Were we thinking of?
Wrapping a ghost in cellophane
You’ve got to earn the right
Shouting the odds and everybody loves a good fight
Break in and move the furniture
Work on a kiss denied
Climbing the walls and everybody loves a good fight
Loves a good fight
What in God’s name
Were we thinking of?
Of......
We Could Fall In Love Again Tonight lyrics - David Gray
Could stay here forever
Where echoes return
There’s glory to gather
There’s money to burn
But I just can’t help from thinking
If I had you by my side
That we could fall in love again tonight
What kind of existence?
To want you so much
And only feel the distance
Each time when we touch
Been a lot of water flowing
Babe we could just let it slide
Then we could fall in love again tonight
I’ll be there in a minute
Baby just you sit tight
Then we could fall in love again
We could fall in love again
We could fall in love again
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Where echoes return
There’s glory to gather
There’s money to burn
But I just can’t help from thinking
If I had you by my side
That we could fall in love again tonight
What kind of existence?
To want you so much
And only feel the distance
Each time when we touch
Been a lot of water flowing
Babe we could just let it slide
Then we could fall in love again tonight
I’ll be there in a minute
Baby just you sit tight
Then we could fall in love again
We could fall in love again
We could fall in love again
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Holding On lyrics - David Gray
Baby now don’t look back
Don’t let those feelings start
Don’t let the line go slack, when you’re
Pulling it all apart
How to describe the sky
Or dismantle a beating heart
Baby we’re holding on
Here we are holding on
Baby we’re holding on
To the world
Seeking assurances
Some kind of guarantee
There has to be more than this, oh now
More than the eye can see
Holding the lanterns high, while we
Sink with our vanity
Here we are holding on
Guess we’re just holding on
Baby we’re holding on
To the world
Now I’m gonna love you
Like the spring bursts from the ground
Unfurling from the ground
Unfurling from the ground
Faces of buildings, trees
All that is stone, inert
Here in these empty streets, well it
Silently does assert
That we are just passing ghosts, honey
Vapours of joy and hurt
And here we are holding on
Baby we’re holding on
Yes we’re just holding on
To the world
Here we are holding on
Baby we’re holding on
Here we are holding on
Yes we’re just holding on
Here we are holding on
Baby we’re holding on
Guess we’re just holding on to the world.
Don’t let those feelings start
Don’t let the line go slack, when you’re
Pulling it all apart
How to describe the sky
Or dismantle a beating heart
Baby we’re holding on
Here we are holding on
Baby we’re holding on
To the world
Seeking assurances
Some kind of guarantee
There has to be more than this, oh now
More than the eye can see
Holding the lanterns high, while we
Sink with our vanity
Here we are holding on
Guess we’re just holding on
Baby we’re holding on
To the world
Now I’m gonna love you
Like the spring bursts from the ground
Unfurling from the ground
Unfurling from the ground
Faces of buildings, trees
All that is stone, inert
Here in these empty streets, well it
Silently does assert
That we are just passing ghosts, honey
Vapours of joy and hurt
And here we are holding on
Baby we’re holding on
Yes we’re just holding on
To the world
Here we are holding on
Baby we’re holding on
Here we are holding on
Yes we’re just holding on
Here we are holding on
Baby we’re holding on
Guess we’re just holding on to the world.
When I Was In Your Heart lyrics - David Gray
Somebody should have told you
I never knew
It’s just another letter
Returning to
When I was in your heart
Now every word is falling
On stony ground
It feels as if the music
Could lay me down
When I was in your heart
When I was in your heart
Because we wanted to
Because we wanted to
Because we wanted to pretend
We wanted to pretend
Now someone else is catching
Those gravy trains
And one poor bastard’s loss is
Another’s gains
The Saviour put a bullet
Right through his brains
When I was in your heart
When I was in your heart
When I was in your heart
I never knew
It’s just another letter
Returning to
When I was in your heart
Now every word is falling
On stony ground
It feels as if the music
Could lay me down
When I was in your heart
When I was in your heart
Because we wanted to
Because we wanted to
Because we wanted to pretend
We wanted to pretend
Now someone else is catching
Those gravy trains
And one poor bastard’s loss is
Another’s gains
The Saviour put a bullet
Right through his brains
When I was in your heart
When I was in your heart
When I was in your heart
A New Day At Midnight lyrics - David Gray
Oh my word ain’t never seen
Day so golden, Earth so green
Put my face into the stream
That I might see
What might have been
Oh my heart how time has flown
Feet that pass along the stone
I hardly recognized my home
All the paths had overgrown
The music and the laughter gone
‘Pon my soul ain’t never felt
So free of all the chains I built
All the pain and all the guilt
Vanished now beneath the silt
I’m striding ‘cross Orion’s belt
Oh my word I...
Oh my word I...
Oh my word I...
Day so golden, Earth so green
Put my face into the stream
That I might see
What might have been
Oh my heart how time has flown
Feet that pass along the stone
I hardly recognized my home
All the paths had overgrown
The music and the laughter gone
‘Pon my soul ain’t never felt
So free of all the chains I built
All the pain and all the guilt
Vanished now beneath the silt
I’m striding ‘cross Orion’s belt
Oh my word I...
Oh my word I...
Oh my word I...
Dave Jones' Locker lyrics - David Gray
At the edge of consciousness
Where the lines they start to fade
And the spirit goes undressed
Of all malice and brocade
At the edges, silvery edges
Where the mirror it bends and stretches
At the edges of this world
Where the waters crash and curl
Take me down, take me down
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
Take me down Davey Jones,
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
Where the sands they blow and shift
Borne away yeah on the drift
Where the sands they blow and shift
Borne away now on the drift
Maybe I can free myself
Dancing with the swaying kelp
Maybe I’ll redeem myself
Swirling with the swaying kelp
Take me down, take me down
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
Take me down Davey Jones,
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
Oh yeah
Make me dance, wanna dance
Wanna dance
Let me see the blue sky
I can dance, gotta dance
Let me see the blue sky
Gonna dance
Holding fragments
Holding fragments
Holding Chimera
Twisting fragments
Only fragments
Only figments
Only Chimera
You’re the one that got away
You’re the one that got away
You’re the one they couldn’t touch
Just the one that got away
At the edges, silvery edges
Where the mirror it bends and stretches
Oh the edges of this world
Where the waters crash and curl
Where the lines they start to fade
And the spirit goes undressed
Of all malice and brocade
At the edges, silvery edges
Where the mirror it bends and stretches
At the edges of this world
Where the waters crash and curl
Take me down, take me down
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
Take me down Davey Jones,
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
Where the sands they blow and shift
Borne away yeah on the drift
Where the sands they blow and shift
Borne away now on the drift
Maybe I can free myself
Dancing with the swaying kelp
Maybe I’ll redeem myself
Swirling with the swaying kelp
Take me down, take me down
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
Take me down Davey Jones,
Davey Jones yeah, take me down
Oh yeah
Make me dance, wanna dance
Wanna dance
Let me see the blue sky
I can dance, gotta dance
Let me see the blue sky
Gonna dance
Holding fragments
Holding fragments
Holding Chimera
Twisting fragments
Only fragments
Only figments
Only Chimera
You’re the one that got away
You’re the one that got away
You’re the one they couldn’t touch
Just the one that got away
At the edges, silvery edges
Where the mirror it bends and stretches
Oh the edges of this world
Where the waters crash and curl
Fixative lyrics - David Gray
If there's a diamond in my mind
Will it dwindle down to naught
Or will it always be defined
If I cant fix it with my heart
So I'm returning to the place
That I might look into your eyes
And look so hard that I can taste
That winter sun that never sets
The swallow caught up in the nets
The perfect chorus when it hits
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
Was heading northward when I saw
That empty house out in the midst
There are traces left for sure
On every mouth you ever kissed
So I'm returning to the word
That I might look between the lines
That I might dutifully recall
The blue within your seagull stare
The funny ways you had to care
For every little thing beyond compare
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
So now I'm calling in the gulf
When you went walking with wolf
Hey boy, you really brought it on yourself
Don't slam the door, now, when you leave
The strangest for we ever faced
The stark in every staging grace
Is crushing diamonds into paste
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
Will it dwindle down to naught
Or will it always be defined
If I cant fix it with my heart
So I'm returning to the place
That I might look into your eyes
And look so hard that I can taste
That winter sun that never sets
The swallow caught up in the nets
The perfect chorus when it hits
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
Was heading northward when I saw
That empty house out in the midst
There are traces left for sure
On every mouth you ever kissed
So I'm returning to the word
That I might look between the lines
That I might dutifully recall
The blue within your seagull stare
The funny ways you had to care
For every little thing beyond compare
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
So now I'm calling in the gulf
When you went walking with wolf
Hey boy, you really brought it on yourself
Don't slam the door, now, when you leave
The strangest for we ever faced
The stark in every staging grace
Is crushing diamonds into paste
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
The Dotted Line lyrics - David Gray
Trying to square the circle of my creed,
spread a little around for chicken feed,
and every (any) little thing I need baby, oh.
Everything that rises, all that flows,
and every which way that it goes.
It's tick, tock, the raindrop, and I wait for you.
Like green eyes or cream pies. I won't yield.
I'm tick, tock, those green locks.
I can't go through.
Like green eyes or cream pies.
I won't yield.
I won't yield.
Oh, the darling light.
Oh, the darling light.
Oh, the darling light.
I won't yield.
spread a little around for chicken feed,
and every (any) little thing I need baby, oh.
Everything that rises, all that flows,
and every which way that it goes.
It's tick, tock, the raindrop, and I wait for you.
Like green eyes or cream pies. I won't yield.
I'm tick, tock, those green locks.
I can't go through.
Like green eyes or cream pies.
I won't yield.
I won't yield.
Oh, the darling light.
Oh, the darling light.
Oh, the darling light.
I won't yield.
A Million Years lyrics - David Gray
Flat out I'm running
Through walls of concrete
Far from my spirit
A lifetime of hate
It shown on our faces
A million years
Screeching and yelling
Don't hear no sound
Blue light of heaven
Rising up from the ground
It shown on our faces
A million years
The fear coming over
The death taking hold of me
Preparing my face
For the gates of eternity, yeah
Fastening my ankles
Strapping my wrists
Taking my someplace
Where pain don't exist
It shown on our faces
A million years
A million years
The fear coming over
The death taking hold of me
Preparing my face
For the gates of eternity, yeah
Like frost on the branches now
Like foam on the surf
There's nothing I [?]
There's nothing I'm worth
Shown on our faces
A million years
A million years
A million years
A million years
Through walls of concrete
Far from my spirit
A lifetime of hate
It shown on our faces
A million years
Screeching and yelling
Don't hear no sound
Blue light of heaven
Rising up from the ground
It shown on our faces
A million years
The fear coming over
The death taking hold of me
Preparing my face
For the gates of eternity, yeah
Fastening my ankles
Strapping my wrists
Taking my someplace
Where pain don't exist
It shown on our faces
A million years
A million years
The fear coming over
The death taking hold of me
Preparing my face
For the gates of eternity, yeah
Like frost on the branches now
Like foam on the surf
There's nothing I [?]
There's nothing I'm worth
Shown on our faces
A million years
A million years
A million years
A million years
Who’s Singing Now lyrics - David Gray
Blindfold and walking
All over town
Hearing them talking
Up hill and down
Rest for the wicked
Flesh for the crowd
Bird in the thicket
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
Head in the ether
Feet in the clay
Hand on the lever
Changes the day
A kiss on the cheek and
A punch in the mouth
Gone for the weekend
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
Me and my baby
Out on the tiles
God awful teeth but
Beautiful smiles
Face in the window
Back of your house
Hey ho my hearties
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
Certainly certainly
Certainly certainly
Certainly certainly
Certainly crossed my mind
Certainly certainly
Certainly certainly
Certainly certainly
Certainly crossed my mind
Drag this old body
On up to the mount
Hey ho my hearties
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
All over town
Hearing them talking
Up hill and down
Rest for the wicked
Flesh for the crowd
Bird in the thicket
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
Head in the ether
Feet in the clay
Hand on the lever
Changes the day
A kiss on the cheek and
A punch in the mouth
Gone for the weekend
Who’s singing now?
Who’s singing now?
Me and my baby
Out on the tiles
God awful teeth but
Beautiful smiles
Face in the window
Back of your house
Hey ho my hearties
Who’s singing now?

Drag this old body
On up to the mount
Hey ho my hearties

Old Father Time lyrics - David Gray
Here at the gates, on the day you were born,
spooling is breathened and blossomed in thought.
Mind in the head of this child of mine,
now we’re up dancing with old father time,
raising our glasses to old father time.
Here in the concords, there’s fire in the brave.
They're not (Ain’t no) protecting from me my day.
If I were strong, if the lashes should shape,
now we’re up dancing with old father time, passing the bottle around.
Out (Pound) in the moder him pour it in lime,
plant stuck in the ground.
Now we’re up dancing with old father time, old father time.
Behold the great city that went down the plague (a glint on the plain?).
Behold the great curtains that murmur in rage.
Blink your eyes once and it’s grace land again.
Now we’re up dancing with old father time, passing the bottle around.
Out (Pound) in the moder and pour in the lime,
the plant is stuck in the ground, now we’re up dancing with old father time,
old father time,
old father time,
old father time.
spooling is breathened and blossomed in thought.
Mind in the head of this child of mine,
now we’re up dancing with old father time,
raising our glasses to old father time.
Here in the concords, there’s fire in the brave.

If I were strong, if the lashes should shape,

old father time,
old father time,
old father time.

Praise it to the skies, everyday I rise,
indeed I will, indeed I will.
Riding on the walls of your precious souls.
Popping like a cork down in old New York,
indeed I will. Indeed I will.
indeed I will, indeed I will, yeah.
Praise it to the skies, everyday I rise,
indeed I will, and indeed I will.
Starting over, born in new (anew),
finally the lone will ignite its gown (long lonely night has gone),
now I’m walking through,
(and now…) now the world gets hotter,
with your hand in mine, when you’re with me baby,
be happy to take it, just days our lives,
indeed I will, yeah, indeed I will,
you’re my [?], loves the creed,
I cant’ even bite on my nails, to the gales of (my own steed epiphany??),
watching those love like shadows,
stretching out behind, when you’re with me baby,
be happy to take it, these days are fine, days are fine,
and every little move I feel like waiting by the turn of the time (table),
now my eyes are well and up (welling up) and they’re just thinking bout the way that it felt,
every bone, every nerve, every fiber, in my body, screaming, yes,
indeed, I will.
Indeed I will.
Indeed I will.
Riding on the walls of your precious souls,
indeed I will, indeed I will, yeah.
Praise it to the skies, everyday I rise,
indeed I will, indeed I will.
Every little moment I feel like waiting there to turn [?],
Now my eyes are well and up (welling up) and they’re just thinking bout the way that it felt, yeah,
every bone, every nerve, every fiber,
in my body, screaming, yes,
indeed, I will.
Indeed I will.
Indeed I will.
Indeed I will.
Praise it to the skies, everyday I rise,
indeed I will, indeed I will.
Riding on the walls of your precious souls.
Popping like a cork down in old New York,
indeed I will. Indeed I will.
A Moment Changes Everything lyrics - David Gray
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
The stolen glances, broken threads
The visions looming in our heads
The years spent running parallel
To everything that might of been
No longer possible to hide
The feeling welling up inside
Ain't never been this close before
Ain't never felt so far away
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment, it changes everything
The summer sky is blushing pink
The heart is running out of sync
Could this just be the day, I think
When anything is possible
Well, hey now you've been here before
To see your face and slam the door
And waiting for the floor to drop
Feel like time is standing still
When a moment
A moment changes everything
[x3]
When a moment, it changes everything
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
[x2]
A moment, a moment changes everything
[x4]
Then a moment
A moment changes everything
A moment
Come on, come on, come on
The stolen glances, broken threads
The visions looming in our heads
The years spent running parallel
To everything that might of been
No longer possible to hide
The feeling welling up inside
Ain't never been this close before
Ain't never felt so far away
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment, it changes everything
The summer sky is blushing pink
The heart is running out of sync
Could this just be the day, I think
When anything is possible
Well, hey now you've been here before
To see your face and slam the door
And waiting for the floor to drop
Feel like time is standing still
When a moment
A moment changes everything
[x3]
When a moment, it changes everything
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
[x2]
A moment, a moment changes everything
[x4]
Then a moment
A moment changes everything
A moment
More To Me Now lyrics - David Gray
That amount of money
That amount of pain
Such a lot of trouble
For such a little gain
Its one foot than the other
Just like-a simon says
But it means
More to me now than it ever has
Might look a little disheveled
A little wild to face
Been on some other level
Been in some other place
Eyes as wide as saucers
Coming bold as brass
Cause it means
More to me now than it ever has
More to me now than it ever has
Saturated northward baby
Syndicated south
All you get is bad news coming out
From a pretty mouth, yeah yeah
Come and going by now just like sailing ships
Straight into the arms of some sweet
Apocalypse
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Everything that matter
Everything that must
Everything that scatters
Just like-a magic dust
Might look a little peculiar
Who really cares
Cause it means
More to me now than it ever has

Fugitive lyrics - David Gray
Yeah yeah
Is the answer none of the above
Crouched in a whole like a mud-streaked fugitive
And everyday a different version of
Pourin it away like a water through a sieve
Hey better realize my friend
Love in the end now you can't take it well
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see a twinklin in your eye
Gotta try
Well its flesh and blood and camaflouge
Paint it to the wall now somethings gotta give
Just another right to sabatoge
Seein through the eyes of a mind-rot sedative
When will you realize my friend
Love in the end now you cant take it well

Surely more than just a lie

Draw The Line lyrics - David Gray
Well we had to pull on something
so we're grabbing at the threads
and now the world's unravelin'
inside our very heads
Glasses smeared with lipstick
hungry eyes out in the street
Same old bodies moving to the same old beat
Had to draw the line
Had to draw the line
All this talk of hypnotising
we can ill afford
to give ourselves to sentiment
when our time is oh so short
Names beneath the lichen
on these, cemetery stones
There are carnivals of silver fish
waiting to dance upon our bones
Had to draw the line
help me draw the line
help me draw the line
help me draw the line
I've been doubting yours baby
I've been doubting mine
I've been out of circulation
where the sun don't shine
I've been doubting fame and wealth,
charity, even love itself
draw the line
I aint saying he's bad baby,
I aint saying he's good
Merely that he ain't so different
'neath the executioner's hood
In the name of liberty,
in the name of brotherhood
had to draw the line
had to draw the line
Need to take some pride baby
need to take some heart
need to take evasive action
when the rumpass start
Here we are buck naked yeah
but where should we begin?
when it's not the flesh we're after
but the howlin' ghost within
help me draw the line
help me draw the line
help me draw the line
need to draw the line
help me draw the line
need to draw the line
had to draw the line
pack your bags we're going home
pack you're bags we're going home
so we're grabbing at the threads
and now the world's unravelin'
inside our very heads
Glasses smeared with lipstick
hungry eyes out in the street
Same old bodies moving to the same old beat
Had to draw the line
Had to draw the line
All this talk of hypnotising
we can ill afford
to give ourselves to sentiment
when our time is oh so short
Names beneath the lichen

Nemesis lyrics - David Gray
'Neath an avalanche - soft as moss
I'm a creeping and intangible sense of loss
I'm the memory you can't get out your head
If I leave you now
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
I'm the manta ray - I'm the louse
I am a photograph they found in your burned out house
I'm the sound of money washing down the drain
I am the pack of lies baby that keeps you sane
Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm trapped inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
I'm the bottom line - of the joke
I am ecstasy - spilling like bright egg yolk
I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it - you're trying to wash out of you hair
Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm lost inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
Possibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and I'll never miss
yes
I'm the babe that sleeps through the blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else
I am your nemesis
Baby I'm life sweet life itself
yeah [3x]
I'm a creeping and intangible sense of loss
I'm the memory you can't get out your head
If I leave you now
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
I'm the manta ray - I'm the louse
I am a photograph they found in your burned out house
I'm the sound of money washing down the drain
I am the pack of lies baby that keeps you sane
Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm trapped inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
I'm the bottom line - of the joke
I am ecstasy - spilling like bright egg yolk
I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it - you're trying to wash out of you hair
Gates of Heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm lost inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
Possibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and I'll never miss

I'm the babe that sleeps through the blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else
I am your nemesis
Baby I'm life sweet life itself

Jackdaw lyrics - David Gray
I'm like a jackdaw
Cawing at your backdoor
Scratching at your window pane
Hey throw your window wide
And taste the April night with me again
Girl we been veering
Backwards disappearing
Down in to the murky deep
Baby come on
We'll be along time gone
There's time enough for sleep
And hey now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
Our hammers beating hard
Against that old facade
Some other air to breathe
That we might break these molds
And free our restless souls
Start to believe
That we can rise above
Our pettiness and love
Like we ain't loved before
Free on this earth
As the surf that rolls
And crashes on the shore
And hey now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
Tantalisingly I saw
Our shadows moving through the door
Traces from a different time
When I was yours and you were truly mine
All mine
And I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
And I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you
And baby don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
Pining for lost innocence
Pining for lost innocence
Cawing at your backdoor
Scratching at your window pane
Hey throw your window wide
And taste the April night with me again
Girl we been veering
Backwards disappearing
Down in to the murky deep
Baby come on
We'll be along time gone
There's time enough for sleep
And hey now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
Our hammers beating hard
Against that old facade
Some other air to breathe
That we might break these molds
And free our restless souls
Start to believe
That we can rise above
Our pettiness and love
Like we ain't loved before
Free on this earth
As the surf that rolls
And crashes on the shore
And hey now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
Tantalisingly I saw
Our shadows moving through the door
Traces from a different time
When I was yours and you were truly mine
All mine
And I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
And I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you
And baby don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
Pining for lost innocence
Pining for lost innocence
Kathleen lyrics - David Gray (feat. Jolie Holland)
Lay down my head by the wayside
My worn out shoes
Quite why she went I can’t decide
Yeah but I sure could use
One plate of food steaming and hot
Clean linen ironed
On a fresh made bed but I ain’t got
One salty dime， one salty dime
One salty dime
Just close your eyes it won’t take long
It won’t hurt a bit
Telling myself I could be strong
Or some such brave bullshit
Trucks are roaring by I’m a red ghost
In their tail light gleam
I’m a tumbleweed， I’m a spit roast
Just turning in your flame
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
On some distant shore
I gazed so hard into the great aching sky
It seemed that I， I wasn’t here no more
That my rushing blood was a river
My eyes two stars
My blowing hair all a quiver
A whispering field of grass
That murmurs as you pass
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
That whispers out your name
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
My worn out shoes
Quite why she went I can’t decide
Yeah but I sure could use
One plate of food steaming and hot
Clean linen ironed
On a fresh made bed but I ain’t got
One salty dime， one salty dime
One salty dime
Just close your eyes it won’t take long
It won’t hurt a bit
Telling myself I could be strong
Or some such brave bullshit
Trucks are roaring by I’m a red ghost
In their tail light gleam
I’m a tumbleweed， I’m a spit roast
Just turning in your flame
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
On some distant shore
I gazed so hard into the great aching sky
It seemed that I， I wasn’t here no more
That my rushing blood was a river
My eyes two stars
My blowing hair all a quiver
A whispering field of grass
That murmurs as you pass
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
That whispers out your name
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
Oh my darlin’ Kathleen
First Chance lyrics - David Gray
Like a bird upon release
Through the atmosphere
Like a honking flock of geese
Winter drawing near
As the fabric comes unstitched
Hearts and minds and eyes bewitched
Standing watching for the smoke to clear
First chance I get I’m gone
Moses had his tablets yeah
Noah had his ark
All I got’s a haystack needle
Stabbing in the dark
Anguished cries and old footfalls
Permeate these paper walls
Need some action all you get is talk
First chance I get
I’m gone I’m outta here
First chance I get
I’m gone I’m outta here
Here’s one for the boys back home yeah
Here’s one for your spokes
A little taste of victory
To send back to your folks
Here’s one for the fireside
The grinning groom the blushing bride
Come and feast your eyes upon the hoax
First chance I get
I’m gone I’m outta here
First chance I get
I’m gone I’m outta here
Over Lake Superior
And the Arctic Sea
Through the dark interior
The stolen territory
Want it with the cream on top
One more lifetime swallowed up
He’ll be back yeah just you wait and see
First chance I get
I’m gone I’m outta here
First chance I get
I’m gone I’m outta here
First chance
First chance
I’m outta here
First chance
First chance
I’m outta here
And it’s a long way back
From where you are
And it’s a long way back
From where you are
And it’s a long way back
From where you are
It’s a long
It’s a long
It’s a long
Through the atmosphere

Hearts and minds and eyes bewitched
Standing watching for the smoke to clear

Harder lyrics - David Gray
Can’t recall the moment when the doubt ripped your face
or put my finger on quite when the fog took your place
We’ve been beating on it 'til we’re black and blue
Just what good exactly is it gonna do?
Always so much harder, so much harder when you have to try
Could we at least agree upon the size and the shape?
The relative dimensions that the lie ought to take
For your delectation a scenario
Taken so much further than it needs to go
Always so much harder, always so much
If we could get away just for a week or two
Baby let it burn the way it used to do
Always so much harder
So much harder when you have to try
Have to try
And if the ground should open up
And swallow me
It would not stop
That minute hand from ticking off
The minutes 'til the penny drop
Not a breath of wind and not a cloud in the sky
All the better then to watch the world passing by
Passing by
Passing by
Passing by
or put my finger on quite when the fog took your place
We’ve been beating on it 'til we’re black and blue
Just what good exactly is it gonna do?
Always so much harder, so much harder when you have to try
Could we at least agree upon the size and the shape?
The relative dimensions that the lie ought to take
For your delectation a scenario
Taken so much further than it needs to go
Always so much harder, always so much
If we could get away just for a week or two
Baby let it burn the way it used to do
Always so much harder
So much harder when you have to try
Have to try
And if the ground should open up
And swallow me
It would not stop
That minute hand from ticking off
The minutes 'til the penny drop
Not a breath of wind and not a cloud in the sky
All the better then to watch the world passing by
Passing by
Passing by
Passing by
Transformation lyrics - David Gray
Oh my hearties bold as brass
Roll it out like summer grass
Take me back where I come from
Transformation has begun
Throwing off the clothes of day
Complications fall away
All I am is laid to waste
Transformation takes my place
And just you keep it coming
A feeling I ain’t never felt before
And the way my heart is drumming
Well caution just goes flying
right out the door
And ain’t this really something
We’re walking but our feet
don’t touch the floor
Anymore
Standing quiet as a mouse
Rodedendrons for my house
Water lapping at my feet
Transformation is complete
Roll it out like summer grass
Take me back where I come from
Transformation has begun
Throwing off the clothes of day
Complications fall away
All I am is laid to waste
Transformation takes my place
And just you keep it coming
A feeling I ain’t never felt before
And the way my heart is drumming
Well caution just goes flying
right out the door
And ain’t this really something
We’re walking but our feet
don’t touch the floor
Anymore
Standing quiet as a mouse
Rodedendrons for my house
Water lapping at my feet
Transformation is complete
Stella The Artist lyrics - David Gray
Stella she gave me a state of grace
I’m armour plated 4 inches thick
Now all I got was a little taste
I’m gibbering like a lunatic
Stella the artist
Just for now at least you’re mine
All mine
No need to be modest
As the daylight creeps
Take her hand and reach through time
I felt the sting of my own rebuke
Come spinning back like a boomerang
I swam the sea of psychotic puke
Nursing my love like a guilty pang
Stella the artist
Just for now at least you’re mine
All mine
No need to be modest
As the daylight creeps
Take her hand and reach
You’re only saying what they all say
You’re only saying what they all say
It should be more like the old days
It should be more like the old days
Oh man
Stella the artist
As the daylight creeps
Take her hand and reach through time
Stella the artist
Just for now at least you’re mine
All mine
No need to be modest
As the daylight creeps
And the floorboard creaks
And your poor heart leaps
Take her hand and reach through time
I’m armour plated 4 inches thick
Now all I got was a little taste
I’m gibbering like a lunatic
Stella the artist
Just for now at least you’re mine
All mine
No need to be modest
As the daylight creeps
Take her hand and reach through time
I felt the sting of my own rebuke
Come spinning back like a boomerang
I swam the sea of psychotic puke
Nursing my love like a guilty pang
Stella the artist
Just for now at least you’re mine
All mine
No need to be modest
As the daylight creeps
Take her hand and reach
You’re only saying what they all say
You’re only saying what they all say
It should be more like the old days
It should be more like the old days
Oh man
Stella the artist
As the daylight creeps
Take her hand and reach through time
Stella the artist
Just for now at least you’re mine
All mine
No need to be modest
As the daylight creeps
And the floorboard creaks
And your poor heart leaps
Take her hand and reach through time
Breathe lyrics - David Gray
Wake, wake and the moments gone
Wake, wake and the moments gone
Wake, wake and the moments gone
Wake, wake and the moments gone
Then the door bell rings
Somebody asks you could
You spare a little time
To feel the weight that's mine
To lower down your guard
Get out your heart get snagged
Caught in the wheels in dust tracks
Angle on the edge
Breathe….
You feel your in too deep
So offer up some chrome
And drop it in the tin
Slither back within
Your crenulated wealth
Your educated self
Your family in rude health
And all the joy it brings
Aren't we forgetting something?
Feet out on the ledge
Feet out on the ledge
Breathe, Breathe, Breathe, Breathe…
And in the heat of noon
Finds you like some dog
You're propped up in a field
Medically sealed
Scratching at the wind shield
And howling at the glass
At anyone might walk past
Were you not aware?
Were you not aware?
Were you not aware?
Breathe…
The sea of broken lives
Mechanics, doctors, house wives
Feet out on the ledge
Feet out on the ledge
Feet out on the ledge
Breathe
Breathe…
Wake, wake and the moments gone
Wake, wake and the moments gone
Wake, wake and the moments gone
Then the door bell rings
Somebody asks you could
You spare a little time
To feel the weight that's mine
To lower down your guard
Get out your heart get snagged
Caught in the wheels in dust tracks
Angle on the edge
Breathe….
You feel your in too deep
So offer up some chrome
And drop it in the tin
Slither back within
Your crenulated wealth
Your educated self
Your family in rude health
And all the joy it brings
Aren't we forgetting something?
Feet out on the ledge
Feet out on the ledge
Breathe, Breathe, Breathe, Breathe…
And in the heat of noon
Finds you like some dog
You're propped up in a field
Medically sealed
Scratching at the wind shield
And howling at the glass
At anyone might walk past
Were you not aware?
Were you not aware?
Were you not aware?
Breathe…
The sea of broken lives
Mechanics, doctors, house wives
Feet out on the ledge
Feet out on the ledge
Feet out on the ledge
Breathe
Breathe…
Full Steam lyrics - David Gray (feat. Annie Lennox)
All our lives we’ve dreamed about it
Just to find that it was never real
This sure ain’t no great Valhalla
Coming closer each turn of the wheel
Forlorn， adrift on seas of beige
In this our Golden Age
Even in our darkest hour
Never thought that it could get so bad
Bullied， suckered， pimped and patronised
Every day your tawdry little lives
So loose your head
And step within
The silence deafening
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
You saw it coming
And I saw it coming but still
Running full steam ahead
In and out of consciousness
It breaks my heart to see you like this
Crying， wringing hands and cursing fate
Always so little far too late
It’s 3am I’m wide awake
There’s still one call to make, one call
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
You saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
Running full steam ahead
Running full steam ahead
Running full steam
Gonna cover my eyes, gonna cover my eyes
Runnin' full steam, yeah
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
You saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
Just to find that it was never real
This sure ain’t no great Valhalla
Coming closer each turn of the wheel
Forlorn， adrift on seas of beige
In this our Golden Age
Even in our darkest hour
Never thought that it could get so bad
Bullied， suckered， pimped and patronised
Every day your tawdry little lives
So loose your head
And step within
The silence deafening
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
You saw it coming
And I saw it coming but still
Running full steam ahead
In and out of consciousness
It breaks my heart to see you like this
Crying， wringing hands and cursing fate
Always so little far too late
It’s 3am I’m wide awake
There’s still one call to make, one call
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
You saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
Running full steam ahead
Running full steam ahead
Running full steam
Gonna cover my eyes, gonna cover my eyes
Runnin' full steam, yeah
Now you saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
You saw it coming
And I saw it coming
We all saw it coming
But we still bought it
Alibi lyrics - David Gray
Stone blind alibi
I will eat the lie
Find the word
Could break any spell that binds you
Prayers like ammonites
Curl beneath the lights
How i long to
Bite every hand that feeds you more
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
All night busz on a line
It's only blood on the rime
Wrecks my head every time
It leads me on
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Tonight tonight
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild
I will eat the lie
Find the word
Could break any spell that binds you
Prayers like ammonites
Curl beneath the lights
How i long to
Bite every hand that feeds you more
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
All night busz on a line
It's only blood on the rime
Wrecks my head every time
It leads me on
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Tonight tonight
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild
The One I Love lyrics - David Gray
Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves
There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love
Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dancefloor
We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves
There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love
Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dancefloor
We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love
Lately lyrics - David Gray
That the sky would lift
That I'd find my place
That I'd see your face in the door
And the sun would glint
An a time well spent
An a time that ain't no more
Taste the broken hearts
In the vacant lots
See the fruit that rots on the trees
Try to turn my head
Leave it all for dead
But it's in my mind always
Honey lately I've been way down
A load on my mind
Honey lately I've been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling I'm damned if i know
I seen that look in your eye
No-one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye
Drag a salted kiss
From this cup of bliss
Watch a new lie twist on the breeze
You can paint it red
Leave it all for dead
But it's in my head always
Honey lately I've been way down
A load on my mind
Honey lately I've been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling I'm damned if i know
Iseen that look in your eye
No-one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Honey lately i've been way down
Honey lately i've been way down
Honey lately i've been way down
Honey lately i've been way down
Lately
Lately
That I'd find my place
That I'd see your face in the door
And the sun would glint
An a time well spent
An a time that ain't no more
Taste the broken hearts
In the vacant lots
See the fruit that rots on the trees
Try to turn my head
Leave it all for dead
But it's in my mind always
Honey lately I've been way down
A load on my mind
Honey lately I've been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling I'm damned if i know
I seen that look in your eye
No-one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye
Drag a salted kiss
From this cup of bliss
Watch a new lie twist on the breeze
You can paint it red
Leave it all for dead
But it's in my head always
Honey lately I've been way down
A load on my mind
Honey lately I've been way down

Nos Da Cariad lyrics - David Gray
One lifetime is long enough
Is long enough to wait
The rain like silver in my ears
Fat nothing on my plate
A bucketful of Babylon
A belly full of hate
Go to sleep my one true love
And may your dreams be sweet
Then we'll be running
See its face beneath the glass
It murmurs on the breeze
Like a long black Cadillac
It passes 'neath the trees
What is it you're waiting for?
Sweet love is on its knees
Go to sleep my one true love
And find your heart's release
Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Yeah we'll be running
Silence is golden
Here I am
I ain't afraid of nothing
Silence is golden
Here I am
The sun above the cotton grass
Is sinking down like lead
The seagulls know the truth of it
And scream it overhead
Hold on to St. Christopher
The sky is murderous red
Go to sleep my one true love
Our glory lies ahead
Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Then we'll be running
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
Is long enough to wait
The rain like silver in my ears
Fat nothing on my plate
A bucketful of Babylon
A belly full of hate
Go to sleep my one true love
And may your dreams be sweet
Then we'll be running
See its face beneath the glass
It murmurs on the breeze
Like a long black Cadillac
It passes 'neath the trees
What is it you're waiting for?
Sweet love is on its knees
Go to sleep my one true love
And find your heart's release
Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Yeah we'll be running
Silence is golden
Here I am
I ain't afraid of nothing
Silence is golden
Here I am
The sun above the cotton grass
Is sinking down like lead
The seagulls know the truth of it
And scream it overhead
Hold on to St. Christopher
The sky is murderous red
Go to sleep my one true love
Our glory lies ahead
Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Then we'll be running
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
Slow Motion lyrics - David Gray
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Did I imagine they held us hypnotized
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling now you're my long lost friend
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Did I imagine they held us hypnotized
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling now you're my long lost friend
From Here You Can Almost See The Sea lyrics - David Gray
Come the weekend
And we'll long gone baby
Just like the old days
Letting the world flow through me
Just a parasite in a line
I'm smoking, killing the time
How long's a piece of twine
What use is sympathy
From here you can almost see the sea
If you would hold still
Could make a clean incision
Then we could sit back
And watch the demolition
Little puppy dog in a box
Somebody's picking the locks
Must want the darn from the socks
Here comes the cavalry
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in the line
I dream of high clouds
Flushed with the light of daybreak
I'm gonna dive in
To water so cold it makes your bones ache
Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped
All of the rubbish heaped
A piece of cardboard taped
Up where the bedroom window pane used to be
From here you can almost
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in the line
Just another fool in the line
I saw a film once
Where all the airholes froze up
A killer whale swam
Under the blue ice
Until her heart stopped
And we'll long gone baby
Just like the old days
Letting the world flow through me
Just a parasite in a line
I'm smoking, killing the time
How long's a piece of twine
What use is sympathy
From here you can almost see the sea
If you would hold still
Could make a clean incision
Then we could sit back
And watch the demolition
Little puppy dog in a box
Somebody's picking the locks
Must want the darn from the socks
Here comes the cavalry
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in the line
I dream of high clouds
Flushed with the light of daybreak
I'm gonna dive in
To water so cold it makes your bones ache
Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped
All of the rubbish heaped
A piece of cardboard taped
Up where the bedroom window pane used to be
From here you can almost
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in the line
Just another fool in the line
I saw a film once
Where all the airholes froze up
A killer whale swam
Under the blue ice
Until her heart stopped
Ain't No Love lyrics - David Gray
Maybe that it would do me good
If I believed there were a god
Cut in the starry firmament
But as it is that's just a lie
And I'm here eating up the boredom
On an island of cement
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it
Open window and I'll steal it
Baby like it's heaven sent
This ain't no love that's guiding me
Some days i'm bursting at the seams
With all my half remembered dreams
And then it shoots me down again
I feel the dampness as it creeps
I hear you coughing in your sleep
Beneath a broken window pane
Tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips
A lollipop to stain your lips
And it'll all be right as rain
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
On winter trees the fruit of rain
Is hanging trembling in the branches
Like a thousand diamond buds
And waiting there in every pause
That old familiar fear that claws you
Tells you nothing ain't no good
Then pulling back you see it all
Down here so laughable and small
Hardly a quiver in the dirt
This ain't no love that's guiding me
If I believed there were a god
Cut in the starry firmament
But as it is that's just a lie
And I'm here eating up the boredom
On an island of cement
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it
Open window and I'll steal it
Baby like it's heaven sent
This ain't no love that's guiding me
Some days i'm bursting at the seams
With all my half remembered dreams
And then it shoots me down again
I feel the dampness as it creeps
I hear you coughing in your sleep
Beneath a broken window pane
Tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips
A lollipop to stain your lips
And it'll all be right as rain
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
On winter trees the fruit of rain
Is hanging trembling in the branches
Like a thousand diamond buds
And waiting there in every pause
That old familiar fear that claws you
Tells you nothing ain't no good
Then pulling back you see it all
Down here so laughable and small
Hardly a quiver in the dirt
This ain't no love that's guiding me
Hospital Food lyrics - David Gray
Just a little something for the pain
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin' around
Is wearing me out
So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
She sounds so different on the phone
I just sink like a stone
Back to the bay
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something I don't know
Don't seem to have that much to show
For all the hard work, the sweat and toil
You say 'well that's right', and you should know
You've been there before
You've basked in the glow
You've stood in the roar
You've tasted the snow
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already
Seeing it all so beautiful
The way it oughta be
Seeing it all so beautiful
And turning away
Turning away
Turning away
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin' around
Is wearing me out
So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
She sounds so different on the phone
I just sink like a stone
Back to the bay
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something I don't know
Don't seem to have that much to show
For all the hard work, the sweat and toil
You say 'well that's right', and you should know
You've been there before
You've basked in the glow
You've stood in the roar
You've tasted the snow
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already
Seeing it all so beautiful
The way it oughta be
Seeing it all so beautiful
And turning away
Turning away
Turning away
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Now And Always lyrics - David Gray
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The road I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
A bonfire smoking
Into a low sky
The sparks they fly up
Into a low sky
Would that these demons
Would let me rest
They're with me lord
Till the day that I die
Feast my eyes on sacred lies
Ill wind that blows
From all directions
Ill wind that blows in
From all directions
Hey easy boy giving it all away
And nothing left
For your own protection
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The ground I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
Feast my eyes on sacred lies
The swans are ghosts
On the jet black water
The swans like ghosts
On the jet black water
Hey little baby
I'll hold you close
We'll glide like ghosts
On the starry water
Tthe dogs are running wild
The dogs are running wild
The dogs are running wild
The dogs are running
Dogs are running wild
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The road I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
A bonfire smoking
Into a low sky
The sparks they fly up
Into a low sky
Would that these demons
Would let me rest
They're with me lord
Till the day that I die
Feast my eyes on sacred lies
Ill wind that blows
From all directions
Ill wind that blows in
From all directions
Hey easy boy giving it all away
And nothing left
For your own protection
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The ground I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
Feast my eyes on sacred lies
The swans are ghosts
On the jet black water
The swans like ghosts
On the jet black water
Hey little baby
I'll hold you close
We'll glide like ghosts
On the starry water
Tthe dogs are running wild
The dogs are running wild
The dogs are running wild
The dogs are running
Dogs are running wild
Disappearing World lyrics - David Gray
Slowly the truth is loading
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
We're threading hope like fire
Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by your side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit 'em 'tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right
Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
We're threading hope like fire
Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by your side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit 'em 'tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right
Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
Dead In The Water lyrics - David Gray
People stand in line
People stand in line
People stand in line
A premonition of the killers angel eyes
An armageddon sky tell it like it is
It's like the old man says
We're dead in the water now
Dead in the water
They come from miles around
They come from miles around
They come from miles around
In avarice and love
To suckle on the blood
Of some forgotten god
Sell it like it is
It's like the old man says
We're dead in the water now
We're dead in the water now
Dead in the water
A simple act of faith
A simple act of faith
A simple act of faith
A celebration of the colour and the creed
The cancer and its seed
Crackles on the mic
Can call it what you like
We're dead in the water now
We're dead in the water now
Dead in the water
People stand in line
People stand in line
A premonition of the killers angel eyes
An armageddon sky tell it like it is
It's like the old man says
We're dead in the water now
Dead in the water
They come from miles around
They come from miles around
They come from miles around
In avarice and love
To suckle on the blood
Of some forgotten god
Sell it like it is
It's like the old man says
We're dead in the water now
We're dead in the water now
Dead in the water
A simple act of faith
A simple act of faith
A simple act of faith
A celebration of the colour and the creed
The cancer and its seed
Crackles on the mic
Can call it what you like
We're dead in the water now
We're dead in the water now
Dead in the water
Caroline lyrics - David Gray
Caroline
Those crazy eyes that shine
Them days blowing through my mind
Like falling leaves
It ain't no good
I try hard as I would
Yeah but you just wont let
My poor heart be
A final war
A steel-eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more, than I can say
But Caroline
It seems like every time
Honey all I get
Is further away
The state I'm in
Got goose bumps on my skin
See the water jump right in
You're hearts so free
I'll face the facts
It's paper on the cracks
Girl 'till I got you right
Back here with me
A final war
A steel-eyed dinosaur
Girl I need you more, than I can say
But Caroline
It seems like every time
Baby all I get
Is further away
Baby all I get
Is further away
A final war
A steel-eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more, than I can say
But Caroline
It seems like every time
Honey all I get
Is further away
Honey all I get
Is further away
Baby all I get Is further
Further
Further
Further away
Those crazy eyes that shine
Them days blowing through my mind
Like falling leaves
It ain't no good
I try hard as I would
Yeah but you just wont let
My poor heart be
A final war
A steel-eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more, than I can say
But Caroline
It seems like every time
Honey all I get
Is further away
The state I'm in
Got goose bumps on my skin
See the water jump right in
You're hearts so free
I'll face the facts
It's paper on the cracks
Girl 'till I got you right
Back here with me
A final war
A steel-eyed dinosaur
Girl I need you more, than I can say
But Caroline
It seems like every time
Baby all I get
Is further away
Baby all I get
Is further away
A final war
A steel-eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more, than I can say
But Caroline
It seems like every time
Honey all I get
Is further away
Honey all I get
Is further away
Baby all I get Is further
Further
Further
Further away
Long Distance Call lyrics - David Gray
If I lean my weight on it
If I fix my heart to the line
Might find a way from it
To some easy time
My skins all white with it
I'm up so high when I fall
I fall so far from it
Ain't nowhere at all
Early morning sun
Shine it and I'm gone
To plane out on the lake
Hey hey yeah yeah
To glide out on the wing
Turn around and sing
The fear now taking hold
I'll bring you love but it's all been sold
My heads all wired with it
My tongue gets tied when I speak
The space inside roaring
When that signal break
Early morning sun
Shine it and I'm gone
To plane out on the lake
Hey hey yeah yeah
To glide out on the wing
Turn around and see
The fire now taking hold
I'll bring you love but it's all been sold
If I fix my heart to the line
Might find a way from it
To some easy time
My skins all white with it
I'm up so high when I fall
I fall so far from it
Ain't nowhere at all
Early morning sun
Shine it and I'm gone
To plane out on the lake
Hey hey yeah yeah
To glide out on the wing
Turn around and sing
The fear now taking hold
I'll bring you love but it's all been sold
My heads all wired with it
My tongue gets tied when I speak
The space inside roaring
When that signal break
Early morning sun
Shine it and I'm gone
To plane out on the lake
Hey hey yeah yeah
To glide out on the wing
Turn around and see
The fire now taking hold
I'll bring you love but it's all been sold
Freedom lyrics - David Gray
Take your eyes off me
There's nothing here to see
Just trying to keep my head together
And as we make our vow
Let us remember how
There's nothing good that lasts forever
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running Ain't no kind of freedom
Feel the touch of grief
You stand in disbelief
Can steal the earth from right beneath you
And falling in so far
They know just where you are
Yeah but there ain't no way to reach you
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Of freedom
Yeah yeah
It's time to clean these boots
Fold up these parachutes
The words goodbye but I can't say it
The end is close at hand I think we understand
There ain't no use trying to delay it
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Freedom freedom
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Of freedom
Freedom
[Instrumental verse, repeat chorus]
Fasten on my mask
I'm bending to the task
I know this work is never finished
And if I close my eyes
I can still see you dancing Laughing loud and undiminished
There's nothing here to see
Just trying to keep my head together
And as we make our vow
Let us remember how
There's nothing good that lasts forever
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running Ain't no kind of freedom
Feel the touch of grief
You stand in disbelief
Can steal the earth from right beneath you
And falling in so far
They know just where you are
Yeah but there ain't no way to reach you
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Of freedom
Yeah yeah
It's time to clean these boots
Fold up these parachutes
The words goodbye but I can't say it
The end is close at hand I think we understand
There ain't no use trying to delay it
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Freedom freedom
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Of freedom
Freedom
[Instrumental verse, repeat chorus]
Fasten on my mask
I'm bending to the task
I know this work is never finished
And if I close my eyes
I can still see you dancing Laughing loud and undiminished
Kangaroo lyrics - David Gray
Don't pay no mind to it
Oh let it blow
Break you up inside
If you don't let it go
Jeez what are you like honey
I don't know
Recommended by my bank
And everybody in the tank
First of all I'd like to thank
This might take a while honey
Hey don't blink
Missing by a mile now we're
Here on the brink
Not a day goes by honey
I don't think
I could be your volunteer
We'll make the whole thing disappear
Saddle up we're outta here
You could be my olive branch
Lift me up above the stench
Walk me through the avalanche
Honey won't you be my flood
Nothing ever comes out good
Trouble in the neighbourhood
Conversations gone askew
And how do you make it fell like new
Kookaburra kangaroo
Will you won't you be my leach
Take it all and when I screech
Leave it there just outta reach
Take me to that burning bush
Give me something I can't crush
Lead me out into the hush
So far behind
So far behind
So far behind
So far behind
Oh let it blow
Break you up inside
If you don't let it go
Jeez what are you like honey
I don't know
Recommended by my bank
And everybody in the tank
First of all I'd like to thank
This might take a while honey
Hey don't blink
Missing by a mile now we're
Here on the brink
Not a day goes by honey
I don't think
I could be your volunteer
We'll make the whole thing disappear
Saddle up we're outta here
You could be my olive branch
Lift me up above the stench
Walk me through the avalanche
Honey won't you be my flood
Nothing ever comes out good
Trouble in the neighbourhood
Conversations gone askew
And how do you make it fell like new
Kookaburra kangaroo
Will you won't you be my leach
Take it all and when I screech
Leave it there just outta reach
Take me to that burning bush
Give me something I can't crush
Lead me out into the hush
So far behind
So far behind
So far behind
So far behind
Last Boat To America lyrics - David Gray
Paint me a boat, away I'll float
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky
There's nothing here to hold me now
And I got no more tears to cry
Grant me a wish, just one more kiss
Baby kiss me till the daylight's through
These are days that make you blue
And there ain't nothing more a fool can do
In and out of dreams all day
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Baby let's go walk away this time
Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth
I got some trouble trying to understand
Beneath the veils of mystery
Are these the movements of an unseen hand
Our arms are filled with sunken treasure
Our heads are filled with perfect sound
Do we truly see it, hey
Till we're placing it in the ground
Take just what you need from me
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Baby let's go walk away this time
Want to take you all away this time
Don't matter, lie to me, I'm falling
Don't need your light on me, no no
Don't need your light on me?
Paint me a boat, away I'll float
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky.
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky
There's nothing here to hold me now
And I got no more tears to cry
Grant me a wish, just one more kiss
Baby kiss me till the daylight's through
These are days that make you blue
And there ain't nothing more a fool can do
In and out of dreams all day
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Baby let's go walk away this time
Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth
I got some trouble trying to understand
Beneath the veils of mystery
Are these the movements of an unseen hand
Our arms are filled with sunken treasure
Our heads are filled with perfect sound
Do we truly see it, hey
Till we're placing it in the ground
Take just what you need from me
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Baby let's go walk away this time
Want to take you all away this time
Don't matter, lie to me, I'm falling
Don't need your light on me, no no
Don't need your light on me?
Paint me a boat, away I'll float
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky.
Real Love lyrics - David Gray
The dawn and all its majesty is taking me away
The dawn and all its honesty is turning me to play
Through the bars of iron rings
Way beyond the bad things
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walking on high
This real love
Real love
This world in all its clarity- it's glorious, it's fake
This world in all its vanity is more than I can take
Down the road, the iron wheels
Chain my heart to how it feels
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walking on high
This real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
Something in my heart is telling me its time
To meet the eye of destiny and leave it all behind
Through my bones an iron rage
Pins my soul upon the page
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walk on high
It makes me want to lay down and die
This real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
Make it real make it real
The dawn and all this majesty is stealing me away
The dawn and all its honesty is turning me to play
Through the bars of iron rings
Way beyond the bad things
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walking on high
This real love
Real love
This world in all its clarity- it's glorious, it's fake
This world in all its vanity is more than I can take
Down the road, the iron wheels
Chain my heart to how it feels
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walking on high
This real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
Something in my heart is telling me its time
To meet the eye of destiny and leave it all behind
Through my bones an iron rage
Pins my soul upon the page
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walk on high
It makes me want to lay down and die
This real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
Make it real make it real
The dawn and all this majesty is stealing me away
Knowhere lyrics - David Gray
Slow voices speaking through a hurricane
Said that I wanted but I lied
Your looking good
Hey man I can't complain
Ghost on the road at night
Seen him out walking he's just skin and bone
I don't see nothing in her eyes
Some call it hell felt like a home from home
I'm dreaming different skies
I don't know where I
I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
Get it on all night
I don't know where I
I don't know what I
It seems to me boy
That you're doing all right
I don't know what I
I don't know where I
Long way to go now
Keep it all inside
36 hours but my mind is fresh
Live for the moment then I'm gone
Suck on that sympathy and feel the rush
Go on my blue eyed son
I don't know where I
I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
Get it on all night
I don't know where I
I don't know what I
It seems to me boy
That you're doing all right
I don't know what I
I don't know where I
Long way to go now
Keep it all inside
[Repeat chorus]
Said that I wanted but I lied
Your looking good
Hey man I can't complain
Ghost on the road at night
Seen him out walking he's just skin and bone
I don't see nothing in her eyes
Some call it hell felt like a home from home
I'm dreaming different skies
I don't know where I
I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
Get it on all night
I don't know where I
I don't know what I
It seems to me boy
That you're doing all right
I don't know what I
I don't know where I
Long way to go now
Keep it all inside
36 hours but my mind is fresh
Live for the moment then I'm gone
Suck on that sympathy and feel the rush
Go on my blue eyed son
I don't know where I
I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
Get it on all night
I don't know where I
I don't know what I

That you're doing all right
I don't know what I
I don't know where I
Long way to go now
Keep it all inside

December lyrics - David Gray
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away Words don't bother me no more
Black money falling to the floor
Flags out on the balconies
Black money washing to the seas
Oh my mind
What happened to the time
December
All my house got blown away
All my house got blown away
All my house and all my home
Walls of glass and walls of stone
Got blown away
Stations in the neon light
Your body strange as dynamite
Killers underneath our skins
Black mirrors black hyacinths
Oh my eyes
What happened to the skies
December
December
December
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away Words don't bother me no more
Black money falling to the floor
Flags out on the balconies
Black money washing to the seas
Oh my mind
What happened to the time
December
All my house got blown away
All my house got blown away
All my house and all my home
Walls of glass and walls of stone
Got blown away
Stations in the neon light
Your body strange as dynamite
Killers underneath our skins
Black mirrors black hyacinths
Oh my eyes
What happened to the skies
December
December
December
Be Mine lyrics - David Gray
From the very first moment I saw you
That's when I knew
All the dreams I held in my heart
Had suddenly come true
Knock me over stone cold sober
Not a thing I could say or do
'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now
My eyes are so wide
Like you reached right into my head
And turned on the light inside
Turning on the light
Inside my mind hey
Come on baby it's all right
Sunday Monday day or night
Written blue on white it's plain to see
That rainy shiny night or day
What's the difference anyway
Baby till your heart belongs to me
If I had some influence girl
With the powers that be
I'd have them fire that arrow at you
Like they fired it right at me
And maybe when your heart and soul are burning
You might see
That everytime I'm talking with you
It's always over too soon
That everyday feels so incomplete
Till you walk into the room
Say the word now girl I'll jump that moon hey
Come on baby it's ok
Rainy shiny night or day
There's nothing in the way now
Don't you see
Winter summer day or night
Centigrade or fahrenheit
Baby till your heart belongs to me
Thursday Friday short or long
When you got a love so strong
How can it be wrong now mercy me
Jumpin' Jesus holy cow !
What's the difference anyhow
Baby till your heart belongs to me
That's when I knew
All the dreams I held in my heart
Had suddenly come true
Knock me over stone cold sober
Not a thing I could say or do
'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now
My eyes are so wide
Like you reached right into my head
And turned on the light inside
Turning on the light
Inside my mind hey
Come on baby it's all right
Sunday Monday day or night
Written blue on white it's plain to see
That rainy shiny night or day
What's the difference anyway
Baby till your heart belongs to me
If I had some influence girl
With the powers that be
I'd have them fire that arrow at you
Like they fired it right at me
And maybe when your heart and soul are burning
You might see
That everytime I'm talking with you
It's always over too soon
That everyday feels so incomplete
Till you walk into the room
Say the word now girl I'll jump that moon hey
Come on baby it's ok
Rainy shiny night or day
There's nothing in the way now
Don't you see
Winter summer day or night
Centigrade or fahrenheit
Baby till your heart belongs to me
Thursday Friday short or long
When you got a love so strong
How can it be wrong now mercy me
Jumpin' Jesus holy cow !
What's the difference anyhow
Baby till your heart belongs to me
Easy Way To Cry lyrics - David Gray
Smoke curls through my hands
These one night stands
Are making me crazy I know
Morning I'll go
Crowds in the rain all passing by
Faith gone from your eyes
Each word it flies
Taking you further away
And come that day
There ain't no easy way to cry
And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
How right it all could be
Faith gone from your eyes
Each word it flies
Straight to the heart and I know
Watching you go
There ain't no easy way to cry
So right now
And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
How right it all could be
Could be
So right now
These one night stands
Are making me crazy I know
Morning I'll go
Crowds in the rain all passing by
Faith gone from your eyes
Each word it flies
Taking you further away
And come that day
There ain't no easy way to cry
And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
How right it all could be
Faith gone from your eyes
Each word it flies
Straight to the heart and I know
Watching you go
There ain't no easy way to cry
So right now
And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
How right it all could be
Could be
So right now
The Other Side - David Gray
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest, I still don't know what love is
Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled
And now the floodgates cannot hold
All my sorrow all my rage
A tear that falls on every page
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
Maybe I oughta mention, was never my intention
To harm you or your kin, are you so scared to look within
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
We may race and we may run
We'll not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when it's gone
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
That trick ain't worth the time it buys
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest, I still don't know what love is
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest, I still don't know what love is
Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled
And now the floodgates cannot hold
All my sorrow all my rage
A tear that falls on every page
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
Maybe I oughta mention, was never my intention
To harm you or your kin, are you so scared to look within
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
We may race and we may run
We'll not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when it's gone
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
That trick ain't worth the time it buys
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest, I still don't know what love is

Brick Walls lyrics - David Gray
I just don't care
Don't care at all
I've banged my head too long
On these brick walls
Every seed I sow
Shudders and falls
Perishes betweens
Ah these brick walls
And I feel like the last hair
On a head gone bald
Not much point being there No point at all
How many more years?
Years 'till they fall
On the blind eyes
And deaf ears
And these brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
Ah these brick walls
And I'm long past worrying
And I'm way past being appalled
I know history is hurrying up
And time can't be stalled
So don't try to run, no
Before you can crawl
Just wait and the time will come
Hey for these brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
Ah these brick walls
Ah, umhm
Brick walls
Brick Walls
Yeah
Don't care at all
I've banged my head too long
On these brick walls
Every seed I sow
Shudders and falls
Perishes betweens
Ah these brick walls
And I feel like the last hair
On a head gone bald
Not much point being there No point at all
How many more years?
Years 'till they fall
On the blind eyes
And deaf ears
And these brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
Ah these brick walls
And I'm long past worrying
And I'm way past being appalled
I know history is hurrying up
And time can't be stalled
So don't try to run, no
Before you can crawl
Just wait and the time will come
Hey for these brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
Ah these brick walls
Ah, umhm
Brick walls
Brick Walls
Yeah
The Rice lyrics - David Gray
The draft blew cold under the door
When we threw wour clothes to the kitchen floor
The broccoli boils in the pan on the gas stove where you stand
Won't you take this spatula in your hand?
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
Out on the roof over havoc streets
Where the sky is a blanket each sweet kiss
so melodramatic embroidered by shadows
by the fridge I reminice
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
we stagger in the doorway and all of the sudden
the drum of the rain on the heather hills
now everything's changed and our silence is bitter
and you are all unhinged
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
we have no concern
oh we have no concern
under the hem of the night
When we threw wour clothes to the kitchen floor
The broccoli boils in the pan on the gas stove where you stand
Won't you take this spatula in your hand?
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
Out on the roof over havoc streets
Where the sky is a blanket each sweet kiss
so melodramatic embroidered by shadows
by the fridge I reminice
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
we stagger in the doorway and all of the sudden
the drum of the rain on the heather hills
now everything's changed and our silence is bitter
and you are all unhinged
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
we have no concern
oh we have no concern
under the hem of the night
Lovers lyrics - David Gray

4AM lyrics - David Gray
Four o'clock in the morning
Moon on the sea
The night is rattling
With burglar alarms oh yeah
The night explode
The night explode
Flower by your window side
Autumn is graceful
Unladen with memory
And the wonders die
Seven o'clock in the evening
Watching TV show
Kissing your dark hair
Its your head against the sunset
And the harbour below
Its the cruelest thing
The cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Just time and circumstance
Taking their toll
As the storm beats and rolls
Your bed was a warm bed
Warm bed in the cold room
Always the same pictures on the wall
With some love in the morning
With your dog at your pillow
And a half empty bottle of baby oil
Oh seven o'clock in the evening
Born around the sea
Night is rattling
With burglar alarms
Oh their ringing out for me
The cruelest thing
The cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Time and circumstance
Taking their toll
As the storm beat and roll
Moon on the sea
The night is rattling
With burglar alarms oh yeah
The night explode
The night explode
Flower by your window side
Autumn is graceful
Unladen with memory
And the wonders die
Seven o'clock in the evening
Watching TV show
Kissing your dark hair
Its your head against the sunset
And the harbour below
Its the cruelest thing
The cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Just time and circumstance
Taking their toll
As the storm beats and rolls
Your bed was a warm bed
Warm bed in the cold room
Always the same pictures on the wall
With some love in the morning
With your dog at your pillow
And a half empty bottle of baby oil
Oh seven o'clock in the evening
Born around the sea
Night is rattling
With burglar alarms
Oh their ringing out for me
The cruelest thing
The cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Time and circumstance
Taking their toll
As the storm beat and roll
Flame Turns Blue lyrics - David Gray
I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue
Different places yeah but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue
Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue
So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night in two
And a whistle and the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue
Different places yeah but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue
Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue
So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night in two
And a whistle and the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Twilight lyrics - David Gray
Watch the twilight from my head
Hanging on a brighter thread
Little darling, till I see you once again
Tell the man to fill my cup
Honey I ain't gonna stop
Little darling, till I see you once again
Pinch me if I'm dreaming
I'm somewhere I've never been
When you lead me by my hand into the flame
Just the rain now on my hat
In the past what use is that
Little darling till I see you once again Na NA NA NA, NA NA NA
Hanging on a brighter thread
Little darling, till I see you once again
Tell the man to fill my cup
Honey I ain't gonna stop
Little darling, till I see you once again
Pinch me if I'm dreaming
I'm somewhere I've never been
When you lead me by my hand into the flame
Just the rain now on my hat
In the past what use is that
Little darling till I see you once again Na NA NA NA, NA NA NA
Hold On lyrics - David Gray
Hold on hold on to me hold on hold on to me
Sometimes there's no easy way
Got to cause somebody pain
Watching you you hit so hard on yourself
Cos you need someone to blame
Oh now what will you do
Oh now what will you do
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Lisa cries her red hair streaming down feels like her heart is made of stone
Sometimes there's no easy way
Got to cause somebody pain
Watching you you hit so hard on yourself
Cos you need someone to blame
Oh now what will you do
Oh now what will you do
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Lisa cries her red hair streaming down feels like her heart is made of stone
As I'm Leaving lyrics - David Gray
As I'm leaving a change comes on my eyes
These streets persuading me with mumbles strange goodbyes
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
And there's no meaning in clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture where silence never stops
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
And now I'm dreaming I'm staring at the walls
At cars all frozen now in late night winterfalls
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
These streets persuading me with mumbles strange goodbyes
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
And there's no meaning in clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture where silence never stops
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
And now I'm dreaming I'm staring at the walls
At cars all frozen now in late night winterfalls
And through the water, through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
If Your Love Is Real lyrics - David Gray
These days spent staring at your photograph
Read your letter, made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Till I know if your love is real
Cause its not as if a lot was said
Falling in and falling out of bed
But now the world's turned on its head
Till I know if your love is real
Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else
That I'd felt all there was to feel
I'm in a daydream now, I'm out to lunch
Should it come down to the crunch I'm wide open for that sucker punch
Till I know if your love is real
Till I know if your love is real
Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else that
I felt all there was to feel
Know if I should live one hundred years
I'll never see another face like yours
Or stranger seas, or brighter shores
Cause I know that my love is real oh my heart
Read your letter, made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Till I know if your love is real
Cause its not as if a lot was said
Falling in and falling out of bed
But now the world's turned on its head
Till I know if your love is real
Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else
That I'd felt all there was to feel
I'm in a daydream now, I'm out to lunch
Should it come down to the crunch I'm wide open for that sucker punch
Till I know if your love is real
Till I know if your love is real
Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else that
I felt all there was to feel
Know if I should live one hundred years
I'll never see another face like yours
Or stranger seas, or brighter shores
Cause I know that my love is real oh my heart
Tidal Wave lyrics - David Gray
Ever since your fingertips
Ever since your eyes
Talking with the lights on
Bluer skies
Even if I wanted to
How could I explain
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
All your favourite eyelashes
All your bluest skin
Bring them and I'll meet you in
That room again
Even if I told it true
Why should they believe
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
Tidal wave
Coming over waterloo
Dreaming of your hands
Want to run away now
Foreign lands
Even as I lie with you
Listen to you breathe
Coming through my head
Yeah this tidal wave
Tidal wave
Tidal wave
Ever since your eyes
Talking with the lights on
Bluer skies
Even if I wanted to
How could I explain
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
All your favourite eyelashes
All your bluest skin
Bring them and I'll meet you in
That room again
Even if I told it true
Why should they believe
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
Tidal wave
Coming over waterloo
Dreaming of your hands
Want to run away now
Foreign lands
Even as I lie with you
Listen to you breathe
Coming through my head
Yeah this tidal wave
Tidal wave
Tidal wave
Falling Down The Mountainside lyrics - David Gray
Without a word, you set your sights into the sun
When all the world, you put to rights is still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve spouting all that make believe
From your lips it seems they might come true
Falling down the mountainside with you
The clothes you wore, the people stared you looked so strange
To see you move, St. Vitus' dance was in your veins
Never once afraid to know, what it feels like when you go
Out beyond where logic keeps the view
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down
If you were here first thing I'd do is knock you down
You left me cold, to meet your ghost all over town
So grind the stone and spin the wheel
Lock the doors, on what you feel
Looking back, it's like i always knew
I'd be falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
When all the world, you put to rights is still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve spouting all that make believe
From your lips it seems they might come true
Falling down the mountainside with you
The clothes you wore, the people stared you looked so strange
To see you move, St. Vitus' dance was in your veins
Never once afraid to know, what it feels like when you go
Out beyond where logic keeps the view
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down
If you were here first thing I'd do is knock you down
You left me cold, to meet your ghost all over town
So grind the stone and spin the wheel
Lock the doors, on what you feel
Looking back, it's like i always knew
I'd be falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Red Moon lyrics - David Gray
Weighing that silver there with your hands
In no position to make demands
Got what you wanted oh very nice
But every kiss must have a price
I'm gettin tired of being denied
Of sayin the same old things
And these tears ain't gonna mend these broken wings
Red mood
All that I've witnessed
Hard to believe
I can still find it in me to be so naive
Cry on your pillow into the night
Coz saying you're sorry won't make it right
I'm gettin tired of, being denied
Of things getting in my way
And if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
And if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
Red moon
Red moon
Red moon
Red moon
In no position to make demands
Got what you wanted oh very nice
But every kiss must have a price
I'm gettin tired of being denied
Of sayin the same old things
And these tears ain't gonna mend these broken wings
Red mood
All that I've witnessed
Hard to believe
I can still find it in me to be so naive
Cry on your pillow into the night
Coz saying you're sorry won't make it right
I'm gettin tired of, being denied
Of things getting in my way
And if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
And if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
Red moon
Red moon
Red moon
Red moon
