Davey Hal

SEEM THE KING
POUR IN
VIEW THE MAN
SPEAK GRAND

PASS IN AWE
DARK DOORS
SOOTHE THE GREY
OLD WAITS

OUR FOOTSTEPS IN SYNC WITH THE BLACK CAT AHEAD
SO BRISKLY, SO SECRETLY AWAY FROM OUR BEDS
A LIGHT SHINES AHEAD WE MOVE OUT OF ITS VIEW
AND WE CRAWL ALONG THE WALL NIGHT WALKING WITH YOU

A TOWER OF FLOWERS WERE JUST IN YOUR MIND
YOU'D NEVER LOOK UP OR REGARD WHATS BEHIND
I'M SURE YOU'RE THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING NEW
I TELL YOU I RATHER BE HERE NIGHT WALKING WITH YOU

NIGHT WALKING WITH YOU

STONES ON THE FLOOR THEY SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A FLAME
WE'D DANCE ON THE LIGHTS TREAT OUR LIVES AS A GAME
I HEARD EVERY STEP LIKE A KISS OR A CLUE
SUCH A SOUND ON THE GROUND WHEN NIGHT WALKING WITH YOU

YOU'D ASK ME THE TIME BUT YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS
WHAT HOUR WHAT MINUTE THE MOON GAVE ITS GUESS
YOU DIDN'T AGREE WITH HIS ANSWER SO TRUE
I NEVER WANT THE SUN TO COME WHEN NIGHT WALKING WITH YOU

I WISH THAT THE NIGHT WOULD ANNOUNCE IT WOULD STAY
TO KEEP US FROM HARM AND AWAY FROM THE DAY
THE AIR IS SO CLEAR WHEN IT'S DARKEST OF BLUE
OR MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WHEN NIGHT WALKING WITH YOU

WITHIN YOUR WHITE WALLS ARE YOU SEEING
WHAT YOU MEAN TO SEE?
ARE YOU HOPING TO GET BY
WITHOUT WARNING ME

WHEN YOUR WHITE WALLS COME CALLING
WOULD THEY BLOCK ME OUT?
DID YOU WARN THEM TO GET ME IN
WHEN YOU WANTED OUT?

IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY
TO SPEND THESE NIGHT TIMES BY YOUR SIDE?
DOES THE COLOUR HAVE TO STAY?
OR CAN WE WASH IT WHEN IT DRIES?

WITHIN YOUR WHITE WALLS ARE YOU TALKING
TO BE HEARD AT LAST?
IS IT BRIGHT, ARE LISTENING
IS IT WORKING FAST

WHEN YOUR WHITE WALLS RELEASE
WILL YOU BREAK AWAY
WILL YOUR MEMORY STILL RECALL
HOW TO FIND YOUR WAY?

FEELING LOW EVERY DAY
THEN FEELING HIGH
RUNNING HOME THE WAY THAT YOU KNOW
JUST FOLLOW THE TIDE

WHERE DO YOU ROAM WHEN YOU'RE ALL ALONE
WHEN HE'S NOT THERE
WHAT WILL YOU DRAW IN OPEN LANDS
ARE YOU SCARED

JUST RUN WITH ME
THAT'S WHAT I SAID
KEEP UP WITH ME
THAT'S WHAT I SAID

WHEN NATURE GREW YOU MADE A NEW SHADE
YOU CALLED IT CARE
AND WHEN IT'S USED THE MESSAGE STOOD OUT
LIKE A FLARE

WHEN THERE'S NEW ROADS
YOU'RE JUST TOO AFRAID TO TAKE THE AIR
YOUR SIMPLE THOUGHTS COULD CHANGE AN OLD WORLD
WHY DON'T YOU DARE

FAR FROM THE DISTANCE I KNEW I WAS SOLD
A MODERN DAY POWER BROKE FROM MASTERS MOULD

GAINING, RECLAIMING
DESIGN FROM THE HEART
HAVING THE HOPE TO PERSIST IS A START

PAINLESSLY POISED AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS
NOTHING STOOD OUT BUT YOUR WIND SPOKEN HAIR

FLOWING, GLOWING
AN IMAGE SO CLEAN
A SAVIOUR AT LAST TO HELP OUT AT THE SCENE

ONE DAY
YOU'LL SAY
WITH ME RUNNING
OUR SAINT IS HERE
TO PAINT ON NEAR
THE IMPOSSIBLE

I COULDN'T TELL OF THE THINGS YOU WOULD WEAR
MATERIALS LOGIC IS LOST SO IT'S FAIR

TO LET YOU BECOME YOU
WHEN YOU SAW IT FIT
A PASSION FOR PLEASURE BECAME YOUR OWN HIT

HEAD UP LEFT FOOT AGAINST THE WALL
SHOW UP WELL THAT'S A TALE SHE CAN'T RECALL

I'VE BEEN MAKING UP EXCUSES NOW
FOR THE HOURS SHE DOESN'T STAY

WELL SHE'S HUMAN ANYWAY
LIKES TO DANCE AND MUSIC PLAYS
STORIES RUNNING FROM HER EYE
THEY LIVE LONG THOUGH WHEN THEY DRY
LIKES A GIFT HANDMADE AND CHEAP
MAKES A GROWN MAN LIKE ME WEEP
DOES HER HAIR WHEN I'M ASLEEP
TALKS ABOUT ME IN THE WEEK

RUN DOWN SAW HER WALKING ON THE SANDS
LOOK DOWN THERE'S NOTHING MORE BETWEEN OUR HANDS

I'VE BEEN MAKING UP EXCUSES NOW
FOR THE HOUR SHE DOESN'T STAY

ON A BEACH I HAVE YOU FRAMED
WITH BLUE SKIES AND PURPLE WAVES
IT'S A PICTURE I HAVE SAVED
WHERE COLDNESS NEVER HAS YOU CAVED
WIND BLOWS SAND TO YOUR LIPS

GENTLE SHADES BELOW
MIX THE STREETS SO PURE
ANGER HALTS THE LUST
HOLD IT IN FOR MORE

IS IT TRUTHFUL TO FIGHT RULING?
CLEAR ENOUGH TO CEASE

TELL ME WHO KICKED ON YOUR STONE TODAY
WHO KICKED ON YOUR STONE TODAY

FOOLISH VOWELS DO APPEAR
TO BE DEEP AND SINCERE
I WOULD LOSE MY WAY
IF I HAD TO BREACH BELIEF ANOTHER DAY

GRACE CAN DEDICATE
SHE CAN LOSE OR WIN
LET IT LAST A NIGHT
LET US BATHE WITHIN

A SIMPLE COMPLIMENT COULD FILL MY DAY
AN APPLE READ TO SHOW I BLUSH
MY ADMIRATION PROVE TO MUCH

TODAYS THE DAY I LEARNT YOUR HISTORY
I LEARNT HOW YOU BECAME UNTAMED
I WON'T MENTION ANY NAMES

BUT IF I SHOULD SEE HER TODAY
I WOULDN’T SIT OR STAND OR WALK AWAY
I’D GO UP AND UP AND UP AND UP
UP INTO HER CLOUDS

YOU SAY YOU’VE ALWAYS WISHED FOR FOREIGN LANDS
I CAN'T MAKE SURE THE SUN COMES OUT
BUT I COULD EASILY WARM YOUR HANDS

IT RAINS OUTSIDE BUT TAKE A WALK WITH ME
THE WEATHER TAKES IT TIME TO SHINE
BUT I DON'T WANT US BUILT FOR SPEED

PLEASE DON'T TEMPT ME
TO KILL WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND
NOW I FEEL EMPTY
JUST LIKE THE HOUSE I LEFT BEHIND

SPEAK TO HER GENTLY
A WHISPER ALONE IS TOO LOUD FOR HER MIND
FEARS TRY TO TELL ME
THAT HIDING AWAY MAKES THE STRONG LOOK KIND

I'VE LET LOOSE WHAT I GIVE
AND I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT IN MY BAG
IT'S SO HARD TO BREATHE
WHEN THE STATE OF MIND HAS TURNED MAD

BLUE IS THE FEELING
WHEN YOU'RE TRAPPED AND YOU’RE COLD AND WINDED WITH GUILT SLOW IS THE HEALING
WHEN YOU'VE SEEN THE BEAUTY THAT I HAVE FELT

I'VE TRIED TO DETEST
SUCH A SELFISH WAY OF LIFE
BUT I CAN'T SETTLE DOWN WHEN I SEE SHE’S FOR ME
FROM THIS HEIGHT

IT'S YOU, MY DEAR MARY

THE TIME THE MONEY BUT CARE WASN'T SPENT
IN THE HEAVENS I'LL JUMP TO WHERE YOU WERE SENT
I WILL HOPE I WILL STEAL IF THAT IS THE CASE
TO SEE YOU AWAY, AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

I WATCHED YOU SING IT SOFTLY SOOTHED
I WATCHED YOUR LIPS EVERY TIME THEY MOVED
SPEAK AGAIN A WHISPER WILL DO
TO SEE ME THROUGH

I WATCHED YOU TURN A DREARY DAY
INTO SOMETHING NEW SO THAT WE COULD PLAY
WHEREVER WE'D CHOOSE
WHAT'S THE USE OF HAVING SKIES IF THEY'RE NOT BLUE?

MY SENSES LOSE THEIR WAY
WHEN THEY KNOW YOU'RE HERE TO STAY
WHAT I WAS BORN WITH AND WHAT I'VE LEARNT
ALL DISAPPEARS WHEN IT'S YOU I SEE I'VE EARNT

I FELT YOUR TEARS BOTH COLD AND WARM
BEHIND THOSE EYES WAS A BREWING STORM
LET THEM RAIN LET THEM BREAK
THERE'S NO MISTAKES

YOU LEFT A TONE A CERTAIN TASTE
I TOOK IT ON SO IT WOULDN'T WASTE
WHEN EVER I'D CHOOSE
WHAT'S THE USE OF HAVING THOUGHTS IF THEY'RE NOT USED
