The Paper Kites

We go any time
 And we're all but thinking
 Of the ones by our side
 But we go anyway
 When we're old we'll be wondering
 Why we didn't stay
 And I'll...

Waiting down at the station
I don't remember
I think it was late then
Standing always so quiet
We're like elevators
Filled up with strangers
No sound ...

In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you.
Shall I write it in a l...

We were trying, but we're trying no more
It's cold on the floor, cold on the floor
This house has never been the same as before
It's never felt warm, ...

Soft and low
Shallow and slow
Is my heart still mourning?
Where the wind goes
Have a mind so soothing
But when I take no more
And be the ground
Mercy ...

I don't always work like I think I should
At the end of the day
I don't always wake up with the
Right words to say but
If I can make you feel somethin...

I want to take you everywhere I go
Have you by my side
Take a walk round in every town
Drive across state lines
Like the sun sends a golden stream
In ...

Well, the boy in the barber still talks about you
Crows like he knew you so well
You kissed him so dizzy, he fell on the floor
And you live in an ol' ...

Run, Run, Don't trail behind keep moving
All the scrapes on our knees
Will tell you where we've been, where we have bled.
Oh we play,
in autumn days

Hard rain and a red light
Is keeping it all at bay
And I watch you going wrong
And I watch it all over again
It's the same thing it's no different
For...

Black and thunder
 All of my days
 Lord only knows
 How to keep it at bay
 And I'm a man of shadow
 Man of the light
 But darkness it comes
 When I'm ...

I've got a love I've got a love for you
 I've got a place in this old heart for you
 And I want to tell you that I want you
 Any way I can
 I want to ...

Run, Run, Don't trail behind keep moving
All the scrapes on our knees
Will tell you where we've been, where we have bled.
Oh, we play, in autumn days

You were young
But your eyes were younger still when you found me there
And you rode down the street to watch me work
Building tables and chairs
You w...

Mid-morning and I pour myself out
 Onto the hot bricks, bad news and a burning sun
 I had a dream we hallelujah'd the country all night
 Only to find ...

What can I give that is all of me
What can I give that is all for you
These arms are all I have
But I hold you like I do love you
But I hold you like ...

In the morning when I wake

And the sun is coming through,

Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,

And you fill my head with you.

Shall I write it in...

Where we rest with water
It's raining all day long
And I don't know how we
Fall into these holes
When the cold is over
Pull me out the ground
And I do...

Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart

Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart

When you go, what you leave is a work of art

On my chest, o...

You fall through the trees
And you pray with your knees on the ground
For the things that you need
With your lust and your greed weighing down
And you...

Held up here, it's a silent fear
A cloudy wake, it's a young mistake
That I'm clothed in
I can't see when I filled with sleep
It's a golden dream of m...

Wait, you're gonna feel something
You're gonna feel something, one day
Wait, thats how fire burns out
Thats how fire burns out, don't you know
When we...

Well the days are getting colder now
 And the nights are getting longer
 Feels like half the world
 Has gone to sleep
 Till the weather blows right ov...

Every time they ask what she got ...

Trying so hard to keep what we're losing
Using our feet to show them the movements
And they wake up, and they go out
Head in a cloud
We were like them...

Tried to see what it means to say
Break my bones then I praise the pain
Don't take shelter stand in the rain
It's meant to feel that way
Tired from al...

We were trying but we're trying no more
It's cold on the floor, cold on the floor
This house has never been the same as before
It's never felt warm, n...

Never meant to cause you trouble
with my coloured lies
But you're holding me with something locked
behind your eyes

And I've been waiting for it all ...

Later on
When all the streets have settled
I call your line
But all I hear is rings and rhymes
I know where you are
Dog eared books in the corner

Halcyon - The Paper Kites
You're free

A lover sinking in the sea

And we

Will let the water fill our lungs

And sleep

Love, we go down, we go down
