Oysterband - Granite Years lyrics

Night has drawn the curtain Covered up their eyes The angels will not hear you Your spirit starts to rise There's music from the bar Drunken laughter down the hall Is it pain or is it pleasure You are hearing through the wall? "Cruising for a bruising" Tattooed above the heart It'd take the strength of Mary To hold the boys apart They flicker in their footsteps A voltage overload Dazzling the dancers like they're Fixing to explode You find 'em later lying in be road Granite years Harbour lights, city nights and bitter tears And you don't care where you're going Say that I was foolish Say that I was blind Never say that I got left behind Love you for a lifetime, but I haven't time to try If I loved you for an hour It wouldn't be a lie Say that I was foolish Say that I was blind A seller bought a buyer And the buyer didn't mind Anything you ask I'll pay in kind CHORUS The wind is off the sea tonight It whistles through his soul The solitary copper Hopes that God is on patrol A single star is shining Across the evening sky Sending us a message They are waving us goodbye They are waving us a long, long goodbye Thousands of light-years Goodbye CHORUS x2 Granite years Granite years Say that I was foolish Say that I was blind Never say that I got left behind Granite years Granite years Say that I was foolish Say that I was blind Never say that I got left behind Granite years ...
