Recorded in Brixton, London 2009

lyrics

From the first I’ve done right
Slipped out of your light
I didn’t take that moment’s warmth
I’m waiting on a better time

But I’m faced with big temptations
Can I resist them all?
Followed me nation to nation
Whenever they choose to call.

And I’m just into the shade
Trying to push these thoughts away
But only you I see
And as the wind is picking up
I’ll take a drink out of your cup
And it will be so sweet

It’s taken time to understand
I know your songs like like the back of my hand
You climbed your Maple Tree
I’ve never had you and you’ve never had me

The clouded moon hangs the same
As the morning that you came
I press my face against the glass
Your songs are all that remain
Take my hand its been so cold
I’m a fire growing low
You’re a chilli pepper burning on my tongue

And I’m just into the shade
Trying to push these thoughts away
But only you I see
And as the wind is picking up
I’ll take a drink out of your cup
And it will be so sweet

It’s taken time to understand
I know your songs like like the back of my hand
You climbed your Maple Tree
I’ve never had you and you’ve never had me
