Will Varley - From Halcyon lyrics

I finished writing this song in the summer Now I'm watching the snowflakes fall As the years go by, I wonder if I really like it here at all Well, I woke up this morning in a strange town The truth is I thought I'd be dead by now I guess I'll keep on going until they find me out With love from halcyon I'm glad that I stayed out drinking Put some medicine in my mind To distract me from this grain of sand In the middle of space and a time This morning my head is losing the war It's cold outside as I walk out the door And I get the feeling this has happened before With love from halcyon I can feel myself disappearing in the early morning sun I fade with the road that I'm walking With love from halcyon As the morning breaks over Southampton I'm wondering how long and how far Still thinking about that old friend, as the waitress trips over my guitar See he stopped singing songs and he moved away I can picture him now singing low lands away Heard he's picking apples down near Rattlesnake Bay With love from halcyon I remember early evening the first time Summer showed her face We were sat outside with a and wine Talking about the golden days We woke up laughing in the Paris dusk And a man on the boat pulled a knife on us If time is money and money ain't much With love from halcyon And I could feel us disappearing in the early morning sun For we were just dead men walking With love from halcyon And I'll be moving on in the morning To go searching across this land Well, I don't know what I've been looking for yet And I doubt that I'll ever understand I'm a copy of a copy In my own version of time I'll never see yours and you'll never see mine We still see the same sunsets Walk the same lines With love from halcyon I started writing this song in the winter Now I'm watching the spring blossoms fall Tell me how can the difference between hours and years Feel so endless and yet so small Well, I left that house about four this morning I got a feeling to carry on going 'Til the cigarettes freeze over and the whiskey stops flowing They'll be singing low lands away And if halcyon is the days gone by Then they're the ones that I love If now is the place that I'm supposed to be It isn't long enough Some day soon I'll be a photograph Underneath my grandson's bed I heard there's a universe somewhere Where this song was written yet So, if you feel yourself disappearing in the early morning sun Just smile and keep on walking With love from halcyon
