11 Years |
| Stevie said now don’t look round they’re watching us |
| Two girls in the corner of that dodgy club |
| And the grey eyes, the storm that I’ve come to know and wish for |
| Before I caught a breath, well, she was standing there |
| We walked the streets of our town just talking |
| And the dawn broke grey and freezing through the deserted blocks |
| Just when your life is stale and there’s reason there for everything |
| Something comes to kick you up inside |
| Eleven sweet years and no nearer home |
| A hundred thousands miles through this battle zone |
| Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness |
| Trying not to look down |
| No Rest for the wicked is still how it goes |
| Twisted up and turning in my bed alone |
| And separation pains like a blunted amputation |
| Pushing endless coins in the telephone |
| Eleven sweet years and no nearer home |
| A hundred thousands miles through this battle zone |
| Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness |
| Trying not to look down |
| So rest in these open arms and lie until they come for you |
| And tell me everything you’ve ever felt, tell me everything you want to see. |
| . |
| Forever running even when we are standing still |
| Driven on and fired up as the whirlwinds blow |
| And shouting out inside «I'm proud of you, I’m proud of you» |
| Ten thousand footsteps echo down the Brixton Road |
| Eleven sweet years and no nearer home |
| A hundred thousands miles through this battle zone |
| Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness |
| Trying not to look down |
