Lille - lisa hannigan


He went to sea for the day
He wanted to know what to say
When he's asked what he'd done
In the past to someone
That he loves endlessly
Now she's gone, so is he
I went to war every morning
I lost my way but now I'm following
What you said in my arms
What I read in the charms
That I love durably
Now it's dead and gone and I am free
I went to sleep for the daytime
I shut my eyes to the sunshine
Turned my head away from the noise
Bruise and drip decay of childish toys
That I loved arguably
All our labouring gone to seed
Went out to play for the evening
We wanted to hold onto the feeling
On the stretch in the sun
And our breathlessness as we run
To the beach endlessly
As the sun creeps up on the sea

Green are your eyes In the morning, when you rise Don't you be afraid to lie By me, my love Your father will not know Love can be broken Though no words are spoken Don't you be afraid to lie By me, my love Your father will not know Love, don't cry I`ll never try Don't you be afraid to lie By me, my love Your father will not know Green are your eyes In the morning, when you rise Don't you be af...
I don't know what you smoke or what countries you've been to if you speak any other languages other than your own but I'd like to meet you I don't know if you drive if you love the ground beneath you I don't know if you write letters or panic on the phone still I'd like to call you all the same, if you want to, I am game. I don't know if you can swim or if the sea has any draw for you if you'r...
For you, we steer a house of smoke and brick and I keep it all For you, bedecked with bicycles to pick and I keep it all For you, it wouldn't do wandering all adrift so I keep it all For you, there's fire in the belly of our ship, I keep it all Call if the lights on, come in and lay low Just so that you know, go on and Fall down and hold your ground, A harbour that grows And how could you know...

what you at my gentle spoken friend i lack a frame to put you in when you're an ocean and a rock away i feel you in the pocket of my overcoat my fingers wrap around your words they take the shape of games we play i feed your words through my buttonholes pin them to my fingerless gloves green and prone to fraying Thoughts of you, warm my bones I'm on the way, I'm on the phone, Lets get lost, me...
sit down and fire away, i know it's tricky when you're feeling low, when you feel like your flavour has gone the way of a pre-shelled pistachio... i know you're weighed down you're fed up with your heavy your boots laced with melancholy notion's all you own... i do - like sugar - tend toward the brittle and sticky when spun and i know my demeanor has gone the way of a photo left out in the sun...
There's one man, he's like the wishful thinking in my life, I see so and he's like the wine on the weekend... and though he is like the sea and it's right he be so if I hold tight he'll wash over me... there's one girl I like she's a smile on a Monday and she'll fight to stay so... and she's like the sun on the weekend and though she is like the sea and she's right to be so still I like that s...
Surface slowly at your own speed Waiting for some sky. We're all laughing, we're all faking Just to see you smile. She waits her turn she waits her time, And all her love it sings it shines Have your coffee, splishy splashy Frozen up the stairs. Hollow but so normal When she needs a piece of care. She waits her turn she waits her time, And all her love It sings it shines.
Waking up today, it was cold out There's something I should say, but I can't get my head around The bends in your brain and your elaborate pain Makes me tired As an old balloon, I hold my breath Like a penance paid too soon, and with too much eagerness To know what is true When air is changed by you Makes it hard I don't know where it comes from Where to go When the rains come When the rain pu...
I have lost you to sleep again Sleeping as we do on opposite sides of a venn diagram I read the time in shadows on your wall The shards of light through the slats on your window I ease myself from under your languid arm I fumble on my boots and hear you breathe through your alarm And I disarm it for you, you rarely heed it anyway I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream School bell ring, ...
