Intro 01:38
And the morning we wrote began, I will never grow old again, And the morning we wrote began, I will never grow old again.
2.
All the winter sighed All the trees undressed Rambling though the road alone Only animals were left Before the city stood A sealed road and a gate But it’s been dying in the light I think we sealed it’s fate And how long we stood With nowhere to go Lost rambling stones with no childhood home No childhood home I can’t rebuild this wood And I don’t wana try I’m forever wading through the ash Did you hear my sigh? Then the path got split And we can't take both so if you follow in my steps We'll take the light trodden road I’ll watch from afar as it unfolds Who will we love when we grow old
3.
Feel my pulse racing around your body Feel nights clockworks starting to slow And we stay up, late now, waiting for the storm to be over With a Glass in hand and waiting for god Oh wont you Bury me at sea, And I'll sleep where the world can't reach, Drift out where no-one sees me go. Feel my shadow, clinging on your footprints Feel the coldest air biting on your neck Mornings frozen, the world’s grown much older tonight A torch in hand and looking for God Oh wont you Bury me at sea, And I'll sleep where the world can't reach, Drift out where no-one sees me go. These days I wait for my fate But I know how it feels to be awake
4.
This old horse broke down, It had nothing left, And don’t I know how it felt And you can’t carry me home, You ain’t got the legs I’ll watch the ground beneath you wilt This old love grows red I don’t understand Why i’m burning through your lens Watched the crows fly by So beautiful Wish that I could fly like them
5.
Ours a cureless love, and yours the atoms I prefer Old and weather worn, but I’m still dreaming of the woods But I’m sure I will remain As a creature of the night with your vows run in my veins On a the night you set alight Now I’m camped out here, but someday I will rise and go Time now it widowed me, but you’re still see me home But I’m sure I will remain As a creature of the night with your vows run in my veins On a the night you set alight
6.
We are just a crazy burnt out constellation, What a life we had when the rain all turned to gold, Red Red top misty mountain Hide, hide me in your arms Oh we’ll burnt those wooden castles down, Run and our bodies may never be found Oh we’ll burnt those wooden castles down, Hide and our bone may never be found We are just the devil breaking at temptation I have found a place where no-one knows our name Gold, Gold winter forest Hide, Hide me unknown And our bones are aching And our hands are tied
7.
All is Grace 01:50
Wooden castles and forts made of sand, and all that lies between Englands mine, I have breached its walls, with hands you can’t see Rise up my shipwrecked love oh never more I’ve I swoon I found my voice in her sweet melodies, in a dark piano tune. And now all's left is grace And now all's left is grace And now all's left is grace And now all's left is grace
8.
A Restraint 02:59
Curse this day, it’s too heavy to move, and you swallowed me up under your sky. Though I seem so calm, all this rage has grown Now it wont be long till I’m on fire So leave me be now So leave me be now I am gone I am gone far away Curse the sky, now there’s nowhere to hide, I’ve got no-one left here in my defence And today I’ll feel, a restraint so real Descend and shatter above
9.
Oh in the summer when you go when you go You know I’m still waiting, in the winter you stole. Awoken by thunder in the storms that you bring Was as graceful as the lightning, that ignites my skin And Though our fiercest storm I’m calling your name Will you doubt my love when It’s all that remains Oh in the summer when you go when you go I follow your fires but they lead me from home Take me to another, where we live in no haste You know I’ll be waiting when you rise and awake
10.
Oh restless sounds, settle down, It’s time to leave Friends follow me, our time of need, descends Breathe in no sigh, for this our time, to show heart Before my children grow, sinicle and old, we must reign We thought we were safe, in our state, we evolved And set down our arms, down our guard, to the king escape from the nest, a world's unrest, yet to see. We’ll grow old so fast, I'll make this last, I promise this
11.
Step Lightly 02:21
Boldest that you vow and you step lightly now I know now, you are nobodies child Belongs to no-one found Old love old love, Sings no more Coldest love lies In your travelers eyes You know I've never flown before But all my clothes you tore Old love old love, Sings no more The oldest drum sings And our forms ran wild But now you, never speak of that day Your mind flown far away Old love old love, Sings no more
12.
Final Waltz 01:37
Strap me tight to dawns flight that pulled me up to the stars Where air is thin I found my home in all you do tonight Will you hit the water with me? Will you hit the water with me? Will you hit the water with me? Will you hit the water with me?
