lyrics

These city colours yeah they move so fast
Summer revellers spilled onto the street raise a glass
To the hot day’s timely end
The wheels are spinning towards your street
The road still hot from the sun’s big heat
The sky is dark and blue, birds all flying home to nest

Well honey that’s right
But honey please don’t fight
Me and my fear tonight

I’ve been called a fool so many times
For never knowing how to read between the lines
What’s wrong with the words there on the page
I stared at your hands when we first met
They moved as you spoke casting a spell as the sun set
And I knew that I would hear you speak again

Well honey that’s right
But honey please don’t fight
Me and my fear tonight

So now we’re sailing on the dawn’s fair gale
And every second is consumed like fine dark ale
A sailor’s drunken song
I kept myself together from the start
But you’re the cat set among the pigeons of my heart
A mess of beating wings

Honey that’s right
But honey please don’t fight
Me and my fear tonight

Just like a bout of vertigo, the horizon’s heady spin
My distracted heart and foolish grin

It’s easy to believe the tide won’t turn
Easy to believe that damp wood will never burn
But let’s make a bonfire by the sea
I promise you I won’t walk away
You asked me here and here it is I want to stay
Reading those words on the page

Well honey that’s right
You don’t have to fight
Me and my fear tonight
