I came back imagining that everything was the same
But the leaves had fallen from the trees
And covered everything
And the river was grey
I came back imagining that everything was the same
But the faces I see in the street
Are upside down and strange
And spun around
Spin me around
If it's not here
Where is it now
My old friend is a funny dancer
Is a secret door
In a bedroom wall
We keep our eyes peeled for the answer
On New Year's Eve
From the windowsill
You're losing again
Losing again
Like you did before

Low light cast over birch trees
Silver fish scales
Swimming in a line over the first star
In an aging sky
I like to see the smiling faces
From a distance
I wish that I had something to write in a letter to you
But every thought in your direction is mute
See the lights pass into the water
Like arrows in the side of the bull
Best friends notice if you turn it around
Think of something to say to keep me on the ground
And stop me from spinning into space
I wish that I could say the things I've found to be true
But every truth I come across is subtle and mute
See the lights pass into the water
Like arrows in the side of the bull
I do it all for you
I do I do

I'm not a praying man
But my days are very strange
I close my eyes and dream
Of darkness on the range
And light across the water
One day in the summer
I woke and it was brighter
The roof lifted clean off
And all the birds were swarming
Around my old furniture
And I could see the picture
Forming in the mirror
Of the inside of my body
And sunlight in my hands
I'm hiding
And I can't stop hiding
How can I tell you

In the evening heat
A hill to climb over
Someone with a dream
To see the water
I admit defeat
I can see you're braver
Walk ahead of me
All along the river

As very young children
Asleep on the drive
Trees made of silver
And no-one in sight
Clouds roll past the window
The sun and the moon
Land's end to somewhere
The pull of the new
Near us as we drive
Just out of sight
54601
Starts on its climb
All the boys in their linen summer suits
Rushing to meet it
The Lickey Incline
Cadbury toposcope spinning
The top of the hill
The wonderful climb
