David Gray Lost Songs 95-98 lyrics

Hear me god, I'm on a level
Mapping silence, spitting skin
Crying, laughing like the devil
Before the might of all that is seen
I raise my head and wake to dream
With a clean pair of eyes

Murdered gold and colors splashing
Down like blood, like flowing hair
Faces melting, airplanes crashing
Before the might of all that is true
I raise my head to dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes

As I'm leaving
A change comes on my eyes
These streets persuading me
To mumble strange goodbyes

And through the water
Through the rain
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out
On the stones
And I'm almost gone

And there's no meaning
In clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture
Where silence never stops

And through the water
Through the rain
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out

Without a word you set your sights
Into the sun
When all the world you put to rights
Was still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve
Spouting all that make believe
From your lips
It seemed it might come true
Falling down the mountainside with you

The clothes you wore the people stared
You looked so strange
To see you move, St Vitus Dance
Was in your veins
And never once afraid to know

I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah, but no one just a stranger I did find
I never noticed, hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue

Different places, yeah, but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue

Hold on
Hold on to me
Hold on
Hold on to me
Sometimes there's no easy way
Got to cause somebody pain
Watching you hit so hard on yourself
Cos you need someone to blame

Oh now
What will you do
Oh now
What will you do
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Lisa cries her red hair streaming down
Feels like her heart is made of stone

Three days spent staring at your photograph
Read your letter, made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Till I know
If your love is real

'Cause it's not as if alot was said
Fallin in and falling out of bed
But now the world's turning on it's head
Till I know
If your love is real

Spent a long time now persuading myself
That I don't need no-one
Nobody else
That I'd feel all there was to feel

Weighing that silver
There with your hands
In no position to make demands
Got what you wanted
Oh very nice
But every kiss must have a price

I'm getting tired of
Being denied of
Saying the same old things
And those tears aren't gonna mend
These broken wings
Red moon

All that I've witnessed
Hard to believe
I can still find it in me
To be so naive
Cry on your pillow
Into the night

ever since your finger tips
ever since your eyes
talking with a light on
blue sky

even if i wanted to
how could i explain
coming though my head now
tidal wave

all your favorite eyelashes
all your bluest skin
bring them and i will meet you
in that room again

even if i told the truth
why should they believe
comin though my head yea this
tidal wave
tidal wave

comin over water

wash the twilight from my head
hanging on a brighter thread
little darlin
till i see you once again

tell the man to fill my cup
honey i ain't gonna stop
little darlin
till i see you once again

pinch me if i'm dreamin
i'm somewhere i've never been when
you lead me by my hand
into the flame

just the rain now
on my hat
and the past
what use is that
little darlin
till i see you once again
