I was left on my own that night
I saw you leave, you were full of life
You told me clearly this was something you should do alone
Took off your shoes, stood on holy ground
Is there no-one else, anyone around?
A flash of light and heat, and thunder in the sky
Whole lives have passed since you made me free
What has become of you and me?
Can you remember why we ran away?

There's nothing on the telly
So can I meet you at the swimming pool?
With some brand new clothes
And a bag full of snack food?
Just like falling in love
Just like love
There's a lot going on
But I can really hear your rhythm now
There's a mountain to climb
Can't get you out of my mind
Can't track the line
From the past to the present
And I can't see what's beyond the line
Just like falling in love
Just like love
I want to fix your roof
I want to go on a holiday
I want to buy new shoes
I want to go on a holiday
Just like falling in love
Just like love

Fade in, fade out of sight
Find me a foe to fight
Tangled and pulled in tight
Higher, higher to go
Fire, fire below
4, 3, 2, 1 and back we go
Fire is all you know
Full heart and full alone
Ice through your tower
You feel it so
And we're here at the end of the land
It's always the same
And there's a ball of broken glass in your hand
Do you want to feel more than you do?
It's always the same
Do you want to see yourself as others see you?
Have we discovered an enemy yet?
It's always the same
Are you comfortable in your company yet?

The bridge at Sharpness
Where we crossed the basin
And walked the canal
In the last of light
Miles upstream
The hills stood strong as memory
Boats in the graveyard
Sat quietly by
Facing away
You can't taste reality
The face in the mirror
Is one left behind
When you wake up at night
Choking, without a key
The warning light's broken
And you are mid-flight
I guess it's relief
I guess this feels good
We should be relieved
It shook out as it should
There's thousands of miles
Between you and me
Finding the fault in it
Walking back to the car
Reading signs on the windows
Does the gate shut at twilight
This side of the dock?
Chasing the sun
Down the length of the estuary
Too much in mind
And too much to unlock
To the bridge at Sharpness
And back over the basin
We walked the canal
And we lost the light

Call it by its name
Or call it something else
Bring me your head
Or bring me your health
A single path to follow
Down to the sea
Waiting for tomorrow
Balanced on a beam
Burn mark
There's a burn mark on it
Bring it forward
Bring it up live
Hear it on the tape
Shadow where we met
Bring the beast down
Throw it off the edge
A hot and endless ocean
A deep and rolling grief
Most of this is stolen
Bring it forward
Bring it up live

The Road

Oh no
Trip it off and let it go
Trip it off and let the gravity go
As a microlight flies high overhead
I wonder if you'd rather be there instead
Peacock
Peacock in feathered flight
In feathered flight but still to weak to survive
To decide what it is you believe
What you believe is really who you deceive
Who knows?
Who knows the way it goes?
The way it goes when the battery blows?
The way it goes when you're buried in flame?
The flames will eat away at you just the same
You said to stop when we got to the ride
At the top of this modernist life
Too far
Too far to fall from height
You're gonna do something well just do it right
This is your time, you won't be denied
You don't owe anyone so get it tonight
Searchlights
Never leave you alone
They curl and shake in black water below
Track the line, the rock and the flow
Circle back with you asleep in the stone

The Tunnel

Stay close to me tiny one
Don't go out of sight
If I've told you once
Told you a thousand times
We don't want you
To be left behind
And to become another sacrifice
It's OK
You simply step inside
Put all doubt out of mind
And shut the door behind you
You are beloved
They can see smile
Let them see you smiling
You'll go far around here
Keep ear to ground
Don't close your eyes
Keep your friends around
Draw a line on the floor
See it, write it down
Then forget what you saw
Don't make a sound
You'll feel a pull
But don't get together
Find a hole to hide
Wait out the weather
Time moves on
You're underground
And you feel defeated
That's when you
Simply step inside
Put all doubt out of mind
And shut the door behind you
You are beloved
They can see you smile
Let them see smiling
In the dark, in the dark
There's really nothing less
There's an arm, there's an eye
Resting on your neck
Stay alive, cross the floor
Grateful to connect
Last one in shut the door
You're the last one left

The Cloud

It's moving nearer every day
There's something strange about it
Can't quite see it
But something anyway
The feeling never goes away
There's something strange about it
Something anyway
Sounding down, we're finding out
It's blocking our line
Come to me, oh gather round
And let's go outside
It's winding down, it's running out
Fix me in time
Come together, gather round
In fading sunlight
A voice, it's speaking far away
A clear electric language
Cosmic voices
A new, much larger game
A new way to communicate
They're building instruments
And have something good to say
The feeling never goes away
There's something strange about it
A new, much larger game

The Dark

There came a dark divide
From across the line
Find a place to hide
And keep the fire alive
When it fell, when it fell
Down on top of us
It cornered you as well
And took the rest of us
When it fell and the ground opened up into emptiness
Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop
And the stream dried away, there was no-one around to see
My god, my god, my god
What did we think we were doing when we made these plans?
The shame, the shame, the shame
Do you know what you'd give to forget and put it all away?
Give away, give away, give away
Whole earth
Strange light
Deep cut
Slow time
Cold stream
Strong wind
Faint touch
Blind sin
When it fell and the ground opened up into nothingness
Bring it back, make it stop, make it stop, make it stop
And the stream dried away, there was no-one around to see
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
What did we think we were doing when we made these plans?
Oh the shame, oh the shame, oh the shame, oh the shame
Do you know what you'd give to forget and put it all away?
Give away, give away, give away
