He writes songs about the chad And the Irish way of feeling bad About it But you couldn’t doubt it When it’s falling from his lips And it is an eclipse From the depths of blue rivers run There’s no way of seeing the sun Not when he’s got a song And I’ve gotta say there’s nothing wrong With all I’ve grown up to be It’s only now I’m starting to see The landscape hidden from view Thanks for sharing your vista And I know I could’ve missed ya But I just saw the sea Rising up from the wintery Snow that you’ve been freezing in Abjectly shivering But put your hands to the blaze It’s a fire that’s learned to save
Is it just my hormones Making me love you A perfect match A patch for two Or is it something deeper That we might share I know that I love you I know that you care And when all the wilderness Lets me go Will I still be there At the end of the show Coz I just wanna hold your hand And have you feel The decades of love With which I cannot deal As they wrap around The map of your frame And I twirl on my fingertips The headtrip of your name
Just another day of Diamonds He laughs then takes my hand And I can feel the wind in the way we’ve sinned Saying that we’ll both be grand He’s like the dew in the morning Light to the touch And I think that he knows That I love him so much As I avoid his stare But I’m still all there As he moves in close to my face And there’s something I can’t replace Like when we split the coin in Liverpool And we’re acting like two kids in school Laughing in all the wrong places And he kind of crinkles his face To let me know that he’s okay That silence is in what I can’t say And it’s been years But it’s also right now And he carries The lightning somehow In his pocket as he storms up a scene And I swore those days were like a fucking dream Young and wild and free as the air There was no cost that we didn’t spare As we paid with our hearts Did we know that we’d part Somewhere in the crystalline But there was a moment dazzling was mine In his effortless And the kind of mind you can’t second guess In his sincere And the way he was just so near As he smiles at me and holds my stare I know he loved me because I was there And tomorrow’s an avenue And they past’s a monument And I ran from the scene Coz I can’t give you what you want But do you think somewhere Among all the tears We could make up The wasted years And just hold hands And lie in bed You caught me with messy hair And my face went red But in the moment it’s okay Because in your eyes I’m whole, full of soul Nothing to aggrandize And you’re still there Somewhere, somehow Some kind of enchanted That I’ll allow As sparks fly In the rhythm section And I think you’ve got me down Til I pull an inflection But we’re so serene And if we’re in this together then you’re a dream In your fiery ways You’re the kind of home that simply stays Exactly where it’s always been If I cut the lights could I be your queen Coz you star my sky with little lights And we make up after all our fights As we just embrace I loved you once now I’m in space That you open for me And I never knew wings til they set me free And I’ve just got to express That those days in that dress Make me miss your beautiful warmth The kind of hearth that mocks the storm Would you be by my side If I said let truth abide And hold you close I let you in, now you’re making a toast As I video phone The moment so when I’m alone I can watch the replay Do you know I love you more, okay? And there have been pilgrimages To foreign lands But I’ll think of you In the slipping sands So much older now But something is as it was somehow Brimming full of angels that sing our song It’s been more than a decade since you belong And I meditate On what exactly it means to be in that state But I can’t repair The feeling of you not being there Til you speak aloud Are you for real, I thought you were too proud But you’re cutting the ribbon And Lord, I forgive him For never let me know in time Do you think you could just be mine?
