Made up My Mind - david gray


Lightening strikes, silver motorbikes
Roaring down the open road, wind on my skin
I'm hungry to begin, my cup has overflown
So let fall the rain down into these desert veins
Taking back what they stole
These diamonds in the mine
Can afford to become fine
In someone else's pigeon hole
So I made up my mind
Made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Half past seven way up in the heaven
The stars are singing in the sky
Lying half dressed, your head upon my breast
Listening to the ocean's lullaby
Standing where we are, it seems so far
From the cold light of day
With the faces full of grief,
And the grinding up of teeth
Has been eating my belief away
So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Instead of lagging now..
Cracks in the veneer and the light so severe
Shining down the avenue try to join the throng
But it's feeling all wrong what are you supposed to do
Shoulder that despair take a lung of dirty air
Turn to watch the sun set red
And the ruins of a culture
Of a sky that's filled with vultures
Circling over your head
So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Instead of lagging behind
I made up my mind....

Flesh
Tears falling slow, from the bridge Into the river below, in your eyes, I start to see A starry veil, the ocean of infinity Moon and stars above me, mingle with the blood Inside my vein These empty arms that should be Holding you close, through nights of winter rain I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever, coming down And I'm drowning in shallows, 'cos it's in ...
All of my senses overthrown By the might of your skin And the lamplight on your cheek bone Drawing me further in No sentence I can speak for the wonder so unique Breaking like a wave upon the shore Mercy me, I'm falling free Since you opened up the door See how the sky is made of sapphire The colors flowing through our hands The moon is fire in your hair A million miles beyond what science und...
As the bell must strike the hour As the west must stab the sun So our hearts must heed the flow Of deeper tides that run Far beyond this bare indifference That prosperity esteems Where the spirit raves and dances Through our very veins At winters edge you found me By the fields of wild gold My hands still filled with ashes From fires long cold As you pulled me from the wreckage Of bitterness a...
It's like this It's all in here Just one kiss Will make that clear So let the flower open Let the ship sail Don't need no meaningless token To hear the nightingale For everything that's been For all that's yet to come Brow full of moonbeams Singing loves old song Beauty threads it's needle In every eye a light will shine From the graveyard to the cradle All the bells of wonder chime No further...
Its a sad old world That's turning tonight As I slide through the streets Moonlight and memory burning And in my hand your broken dream My watery eyes I sing for you this lullaby Let the shadow fall from your window Let the morning light fill your head Stand up and let the wild wind blow Right into your soul till the night is dead All these useless emotions Churning round As I search these bar...

The city gates at twilight And a red ship sinking Behind winter's grey wall Ice in the wind But a fire in the embers Of my heart As darkness falls In a candlelit room Where your eyes are laughing Smoking in the red chair And nothing in the world 'cept the beating of my heart Against the nerves of the air And I know there's a light At the end of the tunnel 'cause I taste it on your lips And I f...
Weight on my shoulders But I'm walking so tall Out into the new horizon Wonder in everything No matter how great or small Howlin' like the midnight Howlin' like the midnight sun And this ain't no pale reflection This is the real thing New horizon New horizon within And your heart ain't yours to control No matter how tight the reigns Love will find it's own direction A time to reap, a time to s...
You turn out the light And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire That shoulders in the night And these tumbling boulders of desire Come rolling off the shadows of me You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurtin' As your lonely silhouette closes the curtain Back on the road destination uncertain So lets get in this car and drive And this feeling I feel so strong So powerful it ca...
What are you becoming? What have you become? Once you sang your own song Now you're dancing to the same drum What have you become? And what is that you're wearing? Money's ugly confidence You sacrificed the poem of your imagination For these pounds and pence Me, I take the cynic's role Throw scorn on your empty mind I've seen this monotonous world Make dull what used to shine You lost interest...
