lyrics

I met him on a Thursday morn
he asked me if London was my home
I said ‘these charter’d streets unsettle me
I fear I’m growing colder in my bones’
he cried in woe ‘you’re always moving
always searching for some better way to be!
dear lady wont you let me lay your heart to rest
and dance your mind to sleep’

ooo

‘faith is only only for the lonely
hope is just a spark for the damned
I will stop to rest for no one here
no god no creature, circumstance or man!’
he said ‘as sure as my feet touch the earth
I swear that there are angels in that tree..’
I said ‘forget it boy, oh you’re no poet
I think you know they look like birds to me’

ooo

he danced me through the thunder
and when crashes brought the light
he danced me through a forest fire
that lit up half the night
one morn at last we came to rest
upon a place where ocean meets the trees
I said I’ll wait here til the evening turns around
and the sun’s below the sea

I’ll wait here til the evening turns around
and the sun’s below the sea

ooo
