Guy Garvey - The Take Off And Landing Of Everything lyrics

You have the time-worn shimmer of tarantella on a Tuscan plain Patiently listen as dull reminiscences fall from my jaws in a jumble again You hold a lamp to my slumber I resurface just to do a new number on you You kiss the wrist of the hand that has twisted itself all into your hair You close the blinds and doors behind me and clear all obstacles on the stair You are an open book I'm on the bathroom floor Yours is an open door I'm throwing ballast overboard You are a genius teetering Hurricane wild be calm as the deep Every living thing needs watering I miss loving you Actually loving you Words on my bedroom wall Speak of my stone cold care A prayer to the take off and landing of everything Leaving your lips as we took to the sky And a prayer to the take off and landing of everything I'll say for you and I will for all time Wrote on my bedroom wall Spoke of your deep true care Over my shoulder and just as I leave I see you slipping the world up your sleeve Well take it and run Go on, go on That's why it's there A prayer to the take of and landing of everything To the take of and landing of everything To the take off and landing of everything good [x8]
