Gonna slip your fingers
one by one by one
till I break your grip
till I’m moving on
Gonna kiss my bruises
love those wounds real slow
till your colours fade
till your hurt don’t show
Sure I’m scared - but I don’t care
somebody’s looking out for me
There’s a hand to hold me
lover’s hand to set me free
life worth chasing
a face I almost see -
there’s a hand to guide me
where I’m meant to be
it’s the hand of faith
reaching out to me
Gonna touch the fingers
of a loving man
gonna bless my days
through these praying hands
Sure I’m scared - but I don’t care
somebody’s looking out for me
There’s a hand to hold me
lover’s hand to set me free
life worth chasing
a face I almost see -
there’s a hand to guide me
where I’m meant to be
it’s the hand of faith
reaching out to me
Joining hands with the one I love
say a prayer - let the love show
joining hands for the joy I got
I ain’t ever letting go
There’s a hand to hold me
lover’s hand to set me free
life worth chasing
a face I almost see -
there’s a hand to guide me
where I’m meant to be
it’s the hand of faith
reaching out to me
Funny How
Funny how an old attic photograph
drags me right back -
drops me in a place I’d wiped away
waking all the faces – unpainting old cracks
Funny how I hear your same old lines
and still I react -
even though it’s all a world away
your touch comes creeping - and works way too fast
Rushing me - flooding me
crushing all the trapdoors and corridors
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how you choke so hard
even now -
funny how – funny how
funny how I taste those broken lips
even now -
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how
Funny how you still mean so much to me
when we couldn’t last
flicked the switch on all our promises
reset the dial and rewrote the past
Rushing me - flooding me
crushing all the trapdoors and corridors
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how you choke so hard
even now -
funny how – funny how
funny how I taste those broken lips
even now -
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how
No-one’s laughing – no-one’s forgiven
sweet regret – there’s only you listening
I could fall every step
but I’m still believing
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how you choke so hard
even now -
funny how – funny how
funny how I taste those broken lips
even now -
Yeh - funny how – funny how
funny how
Funny how – funny how
even now
The Less I Look
You were my pyramid
you were my rising sun
I lay it all at your feet
my Chosen One
You were my rainbow
silver cloud passing through
lighting all that hope in my eyes
your Chosen Fool
Now all the spells lie broken
now I see the real you
The less I look
the more I see -
no more dark angels
bearing down on me -
burning out my eyes
no breaking free
now the less I look
the more I see
Now I’m the Golden Child
threw away your key
true colours wash me down
how love’s meant to be
Now your crown’s been stolen
now I see the real me
The less I look
the more I see -
no more dark angels
bearing down on me -
burning out my eyes
no breaking free
now the less I look
the more I see
Don’t know my face
back in our yesterdays
now these eyes are bursting wide
I just had to turn away
The less I look
the more I see -
no more dark angels
bearing down on me -
burning out my eyes
no breaking free
now the less I look
the more I see
