Shadows on the water, From a memory that turns inside, From the last time i saw you happier, Than i've seen you in a long time.
And all these faces, Oh how they adore you With every blessing, every strength of a storm. And it seems to me it all worked out so different Funny how distance and time they don't change at all.
So may your worries, may your worries Never fall to loud. And may you stay here, may you stay here Happy in your own skin, On the ninth cloud.
Cold to every warning, Oh these ships that passed through, years before And bolder now, than a brand new morning, With the sun on your face, the bruise and the breaks of these careless arms.
So hold your body, hold your body Strong in these winds that blind And may you stay here, may we sit together when we're grey and old, On cloud nine.
This life will move you with every step outside, It's alright, it's alright my arms are open wide for you This life will move you as graceful as the tide It's alright, it's alright Loosen the fears that fears that bind you.
London..
Oh, how i wish i could drag you down here, Pull these feet far from the ground Because this, this city ain't no friend of mine Ain't no friend.
All i can do When the tracks stop at the final destination Is just push on through, The weariness and silences of such a crowded situation here.
All i can do When every brick, every bar, every elegance i see, i see her face, Is just push on, just push on through, These embers of memories that float from the fire, from the fire of this place.
So don't give up on me now, Oh these legs that'll walk me home.
Because it's only concrete and cars, It's only sirens and missing stars, It's only whiskey and disregard In the smallest hours here, when i feel alone.
All i can do when these lights, they haunt me like orchids in a graveyard, Is just just push on, just push on through These faces of dust and stone, The dirt and bone of loss.
So don't give up on me now, Oh these legs that'll walk me home.
Because it's only concrete and cars, It's only sirens and missing stars, It's only whiskey and disregard In the smallest hours here, when i feel alone.
..and i hope, Paris is as beautiful as i've been told and that everything you do is galvanised in gold.
