lyrics

I’ve been on the wire not on your wing
I’ve been the town crier crying
Singing to the choir just to sing
I’ve been circling the kitchen floor
The slumming Lord of the indoors
I’ve become the stay at home troubadour
I’ve been climbing walls to get the view
Coming up to breathe when you come through
 
Every time I see you
I’m walking on air everywhere

I’ve been fumbling for stones to throw
Been the broken arrow beside the bow
I’ve been hitting highs to feel the lows
Now I’m looking for the mountain pass
Now I’m thumbing through Leaves Of Grass
 
Every time I see you
I’m walking on air everywhere
 
No no longer sitting in the river
No no longer at the bottom of the seas
No no longer sitting in the gutter
No no longer down on my knees
 
Every time I see you
I’m walking on air everywhere

7. High Above The River

High above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t bring you back it won’t bring you back
Oh high above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t bring you back it won’t bring you back

Let the fair winds feed you
Let the moonlight seize you
Let the stars get you to my door 
Let the emotions rescue
Let the oceans address you
Let them find someone who loves you more  

High above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t bring you back it won’t bring you back
Oh high above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t bring you back it won’t bring you back
 
May the bells ring for you
May the chorus implore you
May your heart be the guiding track 
Let the radio flood you with music
Let every note want to hold and seduce you
Let all the words that we wrote somehow sweep you back  
If I could stop all the clouds coming into your eyes
Stop all the thunder from telling you lies
Swap all the wind and the rain for an open sky

High above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t deliver you back it won’t bring you back
Oh high above the river and the river won’t deliver you back
It won’t you deliver you back it won’t deliver you
