lyrics

Slowly fall awake
And throw your dreams away
The rising sun is setting
And the shadows make a drama of the day.

Winter holds the heart
Safer in the dark
The stubborn house is housebound
And the brickwork wrinkles in the acid sun.

Let go of those dreams you used to know
Leave them don’t let go.

And of the perfect life
The peace you couldn’t find
Was there all the time staring at you in the dark.

Early risers sing
Self-conscious as the spring
With too much time to think
The bluebirds are breaking all the rules.

And of the perfect life
The peace you couldn’t find
Was there all the time staring at you in the dark.

And of the perfect height
You always said you’d climb
Sculpted in your mind
Pathless as the wind and rain.

Let go of those dreams you used to know
Leave them don’t let go.
