The island of Delos (Greek: Δήλος, [ˈðilos]; Attic Δῆλος, Doric Δᾶλος), isolated in the centre of the roughly circular ring of islands called the Cyclades, near Mykonos, is one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece. The excavations in the island are among the most extensive in the Mediterranean; ongoing work takes place under the direction of the French School at Athens and many of the artifacts found are on display at the Archaeological Museum of Delos and the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
Delos had a position as a holy sanctuary for a millennium before Olympian Greek mythology made it the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. From its Sacred Harbour, the horizon shows the two conical mounds (image below) that have identified landscapes sacred to a goddess in other sites: one, retaining its pre-Greek name Mount Kynthos, is crowned with a sanctuary of Dionysus.
Established as a culture center, Delos had an importance that its natural resources could never have offered. In this vein Leto, searching for a birthing-place for Artemis and Apollo, addressed the island:
Love made visible
Your skin feels incredible
Wrote your name in graffiti on the wall
Love made visible
Your skin feels incredible
Wrote your name but all my words are gone.
Love made visible
The truth is unstoppable
Touch your hand in the blue of the swimming pool.
Love made visible
The truth is unstoppable
Touch your hand but all my words are gone.
I found you in summer
When you were undercover
Not hiding,
Just shadowed
And burning brightly now.
Love made visible
Your skin feels incredible
Wrote your name in graffiti on the wall.
Love made visible
Your skin feels incredible
Wrote your name in graffiti on the wall.
Love made visible
The waves are unbreakable
Holds you up, lets me float to the shore.
Love made visible
The feat is impossible
Make a move but all my words are gone.
I found you in summer
When you were undercover
Not hiding,
Just shadowed
And burning brightly now
Love made visible
Your skin feels incredible
Wrote your name in graffiti on the wall
Love made visible
Your skin feels incredible
Wrote your name
But all my words are... [x7]
Love made visible
Your skin feels incredible
No I don't think it's a good thing,
Without a second thought you put your hand on my
shoulder,
Without a second look you took me miles away,
What happened after that, I couldn't see and I lost you?
And I stumbled around until I found you again,
Cos' you are my only hideaway, you make the world seem
bigger,
You are my only hideaway, you do,
Without a second thought you found the words to explain
Without a second look you tried to open my mind,
Well I know that you are waiting and your patience is
failing,
But I know that I'll get there in a matter of time,
Cos' you are my only hideaway, you make the world seem
bigger,
Oh you are my only hideaway, you do,
And so tonight we'll set the motion right,
You came into frame out of nowhere
Pulled me through the trees to the river
Now Im living each day like Im living the last
And we could make it upstream if it wasnt so fast
Coz youre out of sight, out of nowhere
The evidence points to a matter of choice
Cmon pick me, pick me, for the flight
Out of nowhere tonight, tonight
I found more than anything that to give into love was a
way to begin,
Bowing down to literature
Im living each day like Im living the last
And we could make it upstream if it wasnt so fast
Coz youre out of sight, out of nowhere
The evidence points to a matter of choice
Cmon and pick me, pick me, for the flight
Decades, light up even in your old age
Finds you even in your birdcage,
Breaking curfew like a child,
Her face lives in pictures of a lost age,
All that's precious to a hostage,
Oh, you're ailing but alive,
She waved goodbye,
But, the last you ever loved was the May of 45,
When everyone loved her, and ever the soldier,
Never stepped out of line,
Dream on, dreamer...
Die for, only medal worth the fight for,
Torch you carried through a world war,
Love's remaining out of time,
We cleared the skies,
But the last you heard her name was the May of 45,
When everyone called her, suffer enraptured,
Ringing in Auld Lang sine,
Dream on, dreamer...
Dream on - in time this carnival will fade,
Dreamer - under the shadow of the planes,
Let's go swimming in the morning (x3)
Let's go swimming
There's all these hours in the day,
we are, we are
We run to let them get away
we are, we are
I hid my back against the wall
I stumbled down, I took a fall
I bet you are, I bet you are
I stifled the cold, I fed the flu
I'm on my feet, I feel brand new,
I bet you are, I bet you are
Let's go swimming in the morning (x3)
Let's go swimming
Goodbye my friend, this is the end (x2)
We are dreaming, I'm sorry I let you
I'm sorry I let you down
We are dreaming, I'm sorry I let you down
I'm sorry I let you down
Let's go swimming in the morning (x3)
Let's go swimming
If there's any dying to be done, I will
Be the one who get's the dying done, I will
Take a candle to the kingdom come, 'til then
Hold fire, hold fire
From high to low, the motion leans,
Catch me; catch me,
I'm falling fast, and need your wings,
Catch me; catch me,
If there's any crying to be done, I will
Be the one who gets the crying done, I will
Cut my finger 'til the river runs, 'til then
Hold fire, hold fire,
So tell me when the war begins,
Tell me; tell me,
The time has come to own this thing,
Tell me; tell,
Know your history, you need a cross to bare,
You could've called, you could've ran,
You could've made a better plan,
You had the wheels, you found the keys,
You overcome the silent spring,
Another year, another town
Another life to circle round,
A bed of roses left to fade,
And like a rose you ruled this place,
Why wait for flowers in the evening?
Why wait for love to believe in?
Rhapsody, drown my laughter,
Sympathy, serenade the spark in me,
Wrap my heart in rhapsody,
You could've called, you could've ran,
You had the time to make demands,
On lovers here, a lover there,
A call to arms, a lighthouse stare,
Why wait for flowers in the evening?
Why wait for love to believe in?
Rhapsody, drown my laughter,
Sympathy, serenade the spark in me,
Wrap my heart in rhapsody,
Rhapsody came so close now
All at sea, forge a note you
Lost to me, lost my rhythm, rhapsody,
Oh rhapsody, break the code and climb the trees,
Watch the distant days recede,
Wrapmy heart in rhapsody,
We made a picture [You made the money]
We made a picture [You made the money]
But you never change
And you never smile
We made a picture [You made the money]
We made a picture [You made the money]
But you never change
And you never smile
But you go
You go
Yah you go
Anyway
But you’ve been out today
And there’s nothing more to say
Except were over and out now [Over and out now]
Yah were over and out now
But we’ve been out today
And there’s nothing more to say
Except we’re over and out now [Over and out now]
Oh yah were over and out now

Yah were over and out now
Well we’ve been out today
And there’s nothing I can say
Except we’re over and out now [Over and out now]
Oh yah were over and out now
I've
Seen you hanging from blistering skies
Holding yourself with a grace that defies
Law after
Law as well spit in the eye
Fall on me when you come down
You've seen me panic
Kick without sight
Of any danger except what I might
Know of myself and
See in you
Tonight
Fall on me when you come down
The air is thin and hard to breath,
With
Sweetness that you lost to me
Despite this noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself
This is
No ending
Seeing you buzzing from flickering signs
Bringing on warnings of
Incoming fire
Blood on your hands
From the tongue of a liar
Fall on me when you come
Down
The air is thin and hard to breath,
With sweetness that you lost to me
Despite
This noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself this is
No ending
No ending
Leaving
Alone and
I see you're still breathing
Head out of sight
But the neon's
Deceiving,
There is no danger of you
Getting anywhere here
I know I'm prone to rushing
In with
No pretence of listening
Despite this noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself
This is
No ending. No ending
Seen the world, found a point in growing old,
Dig a little deeper, break upon the shore,
Standing in line at the door,
I know you better than you think I do,
Dig a little deeper, break upon the shore,
Standing in line at the door,
We'll hunt the moon forever, we'll slay it together,
And we'll lay this season down,
We'll put the law behind us; this fever will guide us,
And we'll lay this season down,
And we'll lay, yeah, we will lay...
I know you better than you think I do,
Dig a little deeper, break upon the shore,
Standing in line at the door...
We'll hunt the moon forever, we'll slay it together,
And we'll lay this season down,
We'll put the law behind us; this fever will guide us,
And we'll lay this season down,
And we'll lay, yeah, we will lay, and we will lay,
Yeah, we will lay...
Cos there is no reason to keep us from leaving,
If we lay this fever down,
We'll hunt the moon forever, we'll slay it together,
I'd been alright before you, before you made me feel,
I'd been alive but older, until you brought me near,
A tear I hear alight in your world,
You were turning away: yeah, you were turning away,
A tear I hear alight in your world,
You were turning away: yeah, you are turning away,
From me now,
Beneath a dreaming Goya, we got the sleeping down,
We made a deal to rehearse; we never let this promise drown,
A tear I hear alight in your world,
You were turning away: yeah, you were turning away,
A tear I hear alight in your world,
You were turning away from me:
Yeah, you are turning away from me now...
But in your arms you know that I can mend,
And on your strings you know that I depend,
Make it sound like we can flee again,
Into the lake, into the lake...
A tear I hear alight in your world,
You were turning away: yeah, you were turning away,
A tear I hear alight in your world,
You are turning away from me now,
Yeah, you are turning away from me now,
Yeah, you are turning away from me now,
oooooh move your head from side to side,
don't look down, take your time.
you're all dressed up, nowhere to go,
don't look down, don't say no.
ooh and all i see is you on your knees tonight.

and i'm left with out ya.
but oh oh and all i see is you on your knees tonight.
now baby, let's keep it simple.

words come later than they should,
there's no spell to break this mood.
it ruins, nothing doing.
and for the longest time i'm right.
the dying embers of lonely night.
but i'm still hoping there's time,
i'm still hoping there's time,

i'm always hoping there's time.

i'm still hoping there's time,
In lights, in lights
Lashes run to the speakers
Torches flick under whispers
Late at night
You're out of sight, of land and light
Yves Klein stay here a while
Backstage, they don't deserve your smile and grace
We'll meet in space, we'll meet in space
Someone's here, someone's here
Someone's here, someone's here
Lashes stunned into thunder
These storms won't keep you underground
Tonight, you burn too bright for their delight
Tailspin down through the lightning
Enthralled to hours frightening
Crave, a psalm, a call to arms
A voice to calm
Someone's here, someone's here
Sun shines here, sun shines here
In lights, in lights, in lights
Shapes and lights, shapes and lights
Shapes and lights, shapes and lights
I put a tack on everything,
It lets me know just where i've been,
Call out these chains and get me home,
I'm coming back but will you show,
Hooray Hooray its not over,
we have got all day to recover,
and i'm on a roll so don't you be late,
Too late too late run for cover,
there is not enough left to offer,
theres more to this than acting my age.
I put a price on what you say,
it lets me know that i'm ok,
but i'm a garbage man tonight,
and i just don't believe my eyes,
Hooray Hooray its not over,
we have got all day to recover,
and i'm on a roll so don't you be late,
Too late too late run for cover,
and there is not enough left to offer,
and theres more to this than acting my age.
Oh you'll never believe what i have seen whilst i was
lost,
i found this place next to the ocean,
a perfect fit for us,
you're in so deep you cannot move,
so let me in,
Hooray Hooray its not over,
we have got all day to recover,
and i'm on a roll so don't you be late.
Hooray Hooray its not over,
we have got all day to recover,
and i'm on a roll so don't you be late,
Too late too late run for cover,
there is not enough left to offer,
and theres more to this than acting my age.
Too late, too late,
Too late, too late,
Too late, too late,
Too late, too late,
Too late, too late,
Too late, too late,
Too late, too late,
Hey girl
Where in the world
Did you come from
Hey girl where in the world
Do you belong
(I said)
Hey girl watching you
Walk is like a dream
Hey girl you got a nerve and
You sure got
As I wanted, singing lost and found
Like a fever running,
We could clear this
Town
(I said) Hey girl where in the world
Did you come from
Hey girl nobody knows where
You belong
So why don't you tell me
You're hanging above me
There's room
Everywhere
And I can't walk on air
Hey girl
(I said) Hey girl where in the
World
Did you come from
Hey girl never return cause you belong
I said Hey
You fear me don't come near me
So pretty I'm alone
You fear me don't come near me
So pretty I'm alive
Run away now, run away, run away
Run away now, run away
We'll get through this I can prove
There's more than light in your eyes
Earth it's true it gave me you so try
You read me don't believe me
No reason I can find
You read me don't believe me
No reason I can find
Come and lay down
Come and lay, come and lay
Come and lay down
Come and lay
We'll get through this I can prove
There's more than light in your eyes
Earth it's true it gave me you so try
We'll get through this broken movie
As long as I'm in your sights
Earth it's true it gave me you so try
We'll get through this I can prove
There's more than light in your eyes
Here I am again with a head to mend and little else
beside,
there's nothing like a friend to throw you out of time
Running into walls when the siren calls - I don't know
what to try
There's nothing on TV, and staying in's a crime
I can't drive - but I'm learning to arrive without
damaging the exit sign
I'll pick up my pieces on the way out
I don't wanna go with the voice unknown and drag you
from the deep
I'd rather be alone, than next to you asleep
Running into walls when the siren calls
I don't know what to try
There’s nothing on TV and staying in's a crime
So i can't drive
Well I'm learning to arrive without damaging the exit
sign
I'll pick up my pieces on my way out
We are we know we are
We don't become
We go "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Lover its over so let it go
This club is dead and I'm off home
The taxis are bleeding they're way off track
I need some sign, that you'll come back now so...
Come on, come on and make it real
And feel the feelings that we feel,
I'm only waiting for a song to push you into my arms
And keep you there 'till morning comes
Well lover it's over the sky has drawn this day in close
That we're still gone with
We're watching the world as it's flags unfurl
If all these falling stars
Settle where you are
They'd blind me to your steps
But I've not found you yet
Coz keeping up with you
Was more than I could do
But now I'm off the pace
You know I've got a lot to say
And if I could have said much more
With silence, silence says it all
And if I could have said much more
With silence, silence says it all
If all these speeding cars
Let you pass unharmed
Then I should walk away
You know I've got a lot to say
And if I could have said much more
With silence, silence says it all
And if I could have said much more
With silence, silence says it all
But if I could have made you tick
Like clockwork
Clockwork bring you home
And if I could have said much more
With silence, silence says it all
If you fall asleep I love you
Pulling leaves from trees above you
I know all the things that haunt you
and you need to know I want you.
Girl there is no easy way
to say the things you need to say
but you have to try today
because these things won't go away
And oh-o-ne more lie in
oh-o-ne more lie in
oh-o-ne more lie in
All I want is one more lie in
these four walls and you not crying
All I want is one more lie in
Cut the phonelines
hold my hand
because things don't always go to plan
I'm brave enough for both of us
and ten foot tall when things get tough
and fuck the neighbours,
turn this up
we fought the war and won the cup
and hand in hand we'll run through cities
smashing statues, climbing trees
And oh-o-ne more lie in
oh-o-ne more lie in
oh-o-ne more lie in
All I want is one more lie in
these four walls and you not crying
All I want is one more lie in
I hope we never grow old
then we can still seek our born truth.
I hope we never grow old
unless you tell me these ghosts will jump the other
riding out past midnight
candles leading only away
And oh-o-ne more lie in
oh-o-ne more lie in
oh-o-ne more lie in
All I want is one more lie in
these four walls and you not crying
Right now I'm ready for the future
You pack light
I'm waiting for your return flight
But if you've gotta go away
Then you've gotta go away
Hold fast, these black clouds won't last
And at night, your head's like a kaleidoscope
But if you've gotta go away
Then you've gotta go away
And if you gotta go
Then you've gotta go
But there's one more thing
That you should know
There's no contest for your reason
There's no contest now
Take care, I'll miss you
When you're not there
To friends past
These flags fly half mast
But if you've gotta go away
Then you've gotta go away
And if you gotta go
Then you gotta go
But there's one more thing
That you should know
There's no contest for your reason
There's no contest now
Summers at your back
Always winter
Where you're at
Can we grow, can we grow?
Summers at your back
Always winter where you're at
Can we grow, can we grow?
Love is all around a golden robe
A golden crown
Can we grow, can we grow?
There's no contest
For your reason
There's no contest now
And if you gotta go away
I can see you, I
Can see you
On and on and on we'll go until we freeze
On and on and on because we like
You are nearer than heaven
I get the feeling I get nearer by the day
I've seen
The people go forever descending
It's when we're all inside
That summer's on the
Bullet took it easy dollar lit the room
Monsters making the evening news
Packing up
A round trip, I get in the way
Now I know that
You are nearer than heaven
I get the
Feeling I get nearer by the day
I've seen the people go forever descending
It's when
We're all inside
That summer's on the way
We could talk forever,
Nothing would get
Done
Stake your claim on the morning sun
I get in the way
Now I see that
You are
Clearer than heaven
I get the feeling I get nearer by the day
I've seen the people go
Forever descending
It's when we're all inside
That summer's on the way
Yeah
Tore it up and walked away
Why'd you wanna go do that for?
Threw your Lego in
The lake
Why'd you wanna go do that for?
And you're a long time coming
A long time
Coming home
Do you see me reeling off the lines
I've seen your, I've seen your
Eyes
How can you grow old
You were my triumph?
How can you grow old
You were my
Triumph?
Turned your face into the squall
Why'd you wanna go do that for?
You carved
Your name into the wall
Why'd you wanna go do that for?
And you're a long time
Coming
A long time coming home
Do you see me reeling off the lines
I've seen your, I've
Seen your eyes
How can you grow old
You were my triumph?
How can you grow old
You were
Money in the bank ain't worth what it was since the bullion sank in a pool of sharks,
Shanghaied, shanghaied,
And I don't wanna wait for the banks to break,
And the waved to close on our perfect place,
Shanghaied, shanghaied
But I don't see your face anymore
Throw your knuckles down to the floor
Why do you have to lay awake?
Why do you pray?
'Cos there is passion going to waste
And you'd let loving die in your haste
Why do you have to lay awake?
Why do you pray?
To be on your own, to be on your own,
You took a knife to my life but as long as you say your sorry,
You took the sand from my hand but as long as you say you care,
But I don't see your face anymore
Throw your knuckles down to the floor
Why do you have to lay awake?
Why do you pray?
'Cos there is passion going to waste
And you'd let loving die in your haste
Why do you have to lay awake?
Why do you pray?

She is deafeningly pretty, echoes are everywhere,
So I drink to gain her pity, but she dont care,
I love you Lilly but youre never alone,
Never alone,
In my dreams I fail to see why you cannot come home with
me (I),
Way lay, scheme and play,
Oh, I could touch you, but youd shimmy away,
I love you Lilly but youre never alone,
I love you Lilly but youre never alone
I love you Lilly but youre never alone
I love you Lilly but youre never alone
Anyway, any day, anyway, what if I wait forever?
(Cos) In my dreams we make a scene to end all scenes with
lust supreme (but),
Way lay, scheme and play,
(Its) traces of you that trouble my view tonight,
I love you Lilly but youre never alone,
Like a millionaire, but with nothing to spare,
All this time on my hands doesnt go anywhere,
(But) before you think to cry, I know that
Its not right, that your there, with your love, going
spare,
Youre like a waste of space in an empty room,
Just hoping, somebody gets to you soon,
(The way you) run around is not so clever,
I warn you, honey I love you,
With a heart full of song, I will drive you away,
This Ive known all along but I dont think Id blame,
You for passing on
(Cos) Its not right, that you care so much more, than I
care,
Im just a waste of space, and I rarely move,
Heres hoping, somebody gets to me soon,
The way you run around is not so clever,
I warn you honey, I love you
Centre stage is yours to take,
Can you
Hear that knocking in your soul
No, you don't listen
Can you hear that knocking
Overload
No, you don't listen
Never see the high beyond the low
No wonder, you lay
Twitching
Do you share the rush to be alone
Come over, we'll go missing
We'll go where
There's no snow
We'll go and they won't know
Just please don't give me your word
Do do, do do do do do do ah ah ah
Can you hear that knocking in your soul
No, you don't
Listen
We'll go where there's no snow
Just please don't give me your word
Just please
Don't give me your word
Do do do, do do do do do do ah ah ah
All that matters is the
Music tonight
Just please don't give me your,
All that matters is the music,
But you
Don't listen
Well, we'll run and run
Until we start again
Yea we'll we'll run run and
Run away
Yea well, we'll run and run
Until we start again
Yea we'll run run and run
Don't look down, looks like trouble
Distant sound, must be trouble
All that I
Have learnt
Goes out the window
When I'm not home
Relocate to ice and idle notions
Misplacement, traces of some other
Sound is rushing up to meet me
Cos I'm not home, I'm
Not home
There's water here to last all year
Just don't rush me don't make me
Crawl
Can I have another day to think
Can I take the shade beneath the trees
There's
Water here to last all year
Just don't rush me don't make me crawl
Tell everybody I'm leaving,
Not treading water today
I've left the spoons in the
Backroom,
It's better ending this way
But don't worry, I'll be there
Unless you try
To gain my defences
Don't worry I'll be there
Unless you walk away
Stay where you
Stay where you are
Tell everybody I'm leaving,
Not treading water today
I've
Left the spoons in the backroom,
It's better ending this way
But don't worry, I'll be
There
Unless you try to gain my defences
Don't worry I'll be there
Unless you walk
Away
Stay where you are
Stay where you are
But don't worry, I'll be there
Unless
You try to gain my defences
Don't worry I'll be there
Unless you walk away
Stay where
You are
This satellites lost,
Where has the fire gone
Down deeper he knows,
There's
Still a chance to find it
But should he stay lost,
You are the reason you are the
Cause
This satellite's lost,
But I know that he wants you
I know you're there,
I can
Hear you breathe
It only takes a minute
To get yourself lost watching the day
Dissolve
Down deeper he knows,
There's still a chance to find it
I know you're there,
I can hear you breathe
It only takes a minute
And though you're there you can surely
Leave
It only takes a minute
Oh no
There's nothing in the morning,
Just flowers and a feeling
That yesterday was
Stalling for time
To let the scene in
But you know how everything grows
And you know
The feeling is love
But you're one night away
You're one night away
The snow has
Started falling and
Covered our graffiti
I wander through the city and
Find we're
Stealing evening
But you know how everything grows
And you know the feeling is love
You're one night away
You're one night away
Underneath the table for shade,
I leave you to the living again
Arabesque a
Flowery grave,
I watch a real star winning
Over this twilight, shouting at
Jesus
Absolute closeness, could be beneath us
(if you)
Lose yourself through
Touch
Lose yourself in Love
It leaves me nothing to know
Just a stationary role
(in your) Bedroom scene
Maybe what I'm trying to say is
I lost you in translation
To lover
From the hand of a friend
Too much too hard to mention
(so don't)
Lose yourself
Through touch
For three days I wandered, defeated, asunder,
In winter abundant, I lost the path to Sainte-Agathe,
And finding my footfall, I tripped on a fable,
A cage for an angel and found my fate in this domain
Now I'm home...
Why don't you ask me to stay?
I want nobody but you,
Don't let this hour get in the way,
I need asylum, you need asylum too
For three days I haunted a line through a forst,
The breadcrumbs, they vanised
And left me here in winter reign,
Now I'm home...
Why don't you ask me to stay?
I want nobody but you,
Don't let this hour get in the way,
I need asylum, you need asylum too
Now, it's too far to make it home,
Now, it's too far to make it home,
Oh you've got your reasons
Clouded from me
I touch only surface
Crested debris
But I've seen the refinery from 20,000ft
Ignite the sky and burn your paper wings
Silly thing
Still you live like you're dying
Just to breathe
Quiet, things are turning alabaster
Quiet, we don't want the house to burn
Caress the porch in whispered tones
We don't have long to be alone
With easter island dead ahead
It makes good sense
To break our bread in reverie
To our need
So we live like we're dying just to breathe
Quiet, things are turning alabaster
Quiet, we don't want the house to burn
And we live like we're dying
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on T.V
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me...
I Reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure of
My ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me
These Days
Please don't ask me to defend
The shamefull lowlands
Of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
Sometimes I feel dizzy and I don't know why
But my head spins the opposite way to the sky
Can't sit down
Can't stand up
Think I've run out of luck
Last night I was trying to think of your name
But my head was still clouded and you were to blame
Where are you?
Huh?
Where were you?
But what are the chances of you going nowhere?
And what are the chances of making you cry?
These panic attacks helped me breathe until now
Breathe until now
These panic attacks helped me breathe until now
My heart just skipped a beat
This is it
Something's found
I feel weak
I'm brand new
Who am I?
Where are you?
Huh?
But what are the chances of you going nowhere?
And what are the chances of making you cry?
These panic attacks helped me breathe until now
Breathe into now
Your girl - she's far away
Your town - it's far away
Your girl is far away
Never fear (x3)
These panic attacks helped me breathe until now (x7)
Draped in light, right your wrongs,
We are a misdemeanour; we were a golden age,
Our reign was set to linger, now only seconds remain,
Draped in light, right your wrongs,
Remember how we shivered on bridges high as planes,
Forgive my trigger finger; it's brought us nothing but pain,
Alay Decembers embers scattered on our stomping ground,
Somewhere underneath our lost estate is burning down
But I don't want to lose your heartbeat, no, I don't want to lose your patience,
This is real time, this is always; this is heavenly, here right now,
Alone and draped in light, right your wrongs,
Draped in light, right your wrongs,
All these suns set for miles can't compare, to this time here with you,
looking at the hours laying down
it's safe to say you won't be rolling round
i'll maybe see you someday
beneath the apple blossom as before
making plans to take the farthest shore
(we'll) be there, be there someday
maybe we can drive again
'cos rain stopped play
with you barely there
your hand me downs won't mend
this hole in my soul that you rent
the trouble with you is your friends
hand me downs,
hand me downs are everywhere
but everywhere's irrelevent to me
if you're off shore waving
slow descent you knew was
I'm listing slowly
No peace in this heat
and tiger hunting, never thorned me
It's making it harder to blink
Fire breathing, it got me a name
but tight rope walking
it's pulling me ever further away
You keep talking me down
You keep talking me down, down
Thanks for the words
I alone could go over board
I'm listing slowly
Oh, You keep talking me down
You keep talking me down
You keep talking me down
Lost in a melody
STOP!
You wouldn't want to waste it
Don't think of the doubt
Oh how could you misplace it?
No you can't replace it
Run run run run
We should get in before the setting of the summons
Lost in a melody
That which I should have done I did not do
and now the song is sung
STOP!
There's red upon the rapids
Oh but they don't know
The consequence is tragic
Swallow the tears, heavy the ocean
Little pink flies, faces of Georgia
Head on the rocks, the rocks, the rocks
Bed on the street
Run run run run
We should get in before the setting of the summons
Lost in a melody
That which I should have done I did not do
And now the song is sung
STOP!!
lost in a melody
lost in a melody (you, you are)
ooow we are
lost in a melody
ow we are
lost in a melody
ow we are
lost in a melody
ow we are
Breathe again, Delilah's gone
Upped and took the piano
Oh you and I have never been older
Oh you and I have never been older
Sure as I was standing there
She was mine until I cared
Oh you and I have never been older
Oh you and I have never been older
How can you say you are lonely
Oh when you've got my baby?
Call off the fire you owe me
And breathe again
Certain times define a face
So I'm left to kiss a trace
Breathe again, Delilah's gone
Breathe again, Delilah's gone
How can you say you are lonely
Oh when you've got my baby?
Call off the fire you owe me
She wasn't swallowed by the ground
I must confess I let her drown
So I could begin again
'Cos she knew the reason in her hand
Would grow colder with time
Made up my unmade mind
But I stop breathing when you rise
Whenever you fall I die
To bury yourselves in shifting sands
Won't keep this ship from going down
As soon as you talk to me
So leave her right here and stop this freeze
I'll let her go to let me be
But I stop breathing when you rise
Whenever you fall I die
But lately you keep on trying to reach me
Now lately, something's wrong in your eyes
And it's not right
But I stop breathing when you rise
Hey baby there's something wrong
You burnt away, you wear the sun,
And maybe I slept too
Long
And missed the game and now you're gone
You wear the sun
If I could I would leave
You alone
And baby, put down your gun
And turn away you wear the sun
Maybe I should
Have told you I'm no fun
Before P.M. and now you're gone
You wear the sun
If I could
I would leave you alone
There's a daisy chain tying me
Down to the field of
Play
Such an open face,
You're leaving me nothing
But hope to chase
You wear
Well there's only so much that a boy can take
And look at the state of him now
His tongue is tied in two
Hands that shake
The eyes don't lie
But still I didn't expect you to sink so soon
And look at the state of me now
But guess what I've heard...
A little longer and we're away
A little longer and we're away
A little longer and we're the thing
Cos you see colours deep in me
Ahhhhhh
We ride - let the road decide
We ride, we ride - we live for tomorrow
But we're only temporary
But the room is alive with a sense of time
Derived from the look in your eyes
They thought I'd found it
A little longer and we're away
A little longer and we're away
A little longer and we're the thing
Cos you see colours deep in me
Ahhhhhh
We ride - let the road decide
Yeah we ride, we ride - let the road decide
Remember what you gave
It will set you free
Cos you alone make the sweet sea breeze today
Freeeeeeeeeeeeee
Live for tomorrow but we're only temporary
We're only temporary now now now
Ahhhhhh
We ride - let the road decide
Yeah we ride, we ride - let the road decide
Remember what you gave
It will set you free
Cos you alone make the sweet sea breeze today
Freeeeeeeeeeeeee
Live for tomorrow
Faster, Sarah lets run,
From disaster, Sarah come on,
And take your heart from your sleeve,
Leave behind the bruising strings,
That made him old before you could get hold,
(And) now winters memory of summer is cold I say,
Faster, Sarah lets run,
From disaster, Sarah come on,
And take your heart from your sleeve,
Its a lock to a thief,
Now here we are with the scars on your arm,
But I ask you, I ask you,
Dont you think that weve found L.O.V.E.?
So dont lose it for me, weve got L.O.V.E.?
No, dont lose it,
And take your heart from your sleeve,
Leave behind the failing trees,
That crowd you so, turned the neighbourhood gold,
Until winters memory of summer was cold,
Believe me, believe me,
Well run again, run again, run again,
Night, all night, all night,
Oh I can hardly wait until we get there
Beneath the morning sun a crowd is forming,
No I can hardly wait until we get there
Just breathe; we'll make a picture not a scene,
'Cos you don't have to preach to me,
There's not a note you cannot sing,
Unsung, you'll be a ghost before too long,
You'll get your moment in the sun,
Under the moon, under the gun
There's a hole carved in me you can see straight through,
Fill it in, fill it in, 'cos it's shaped like you,
There's a hole carved in me you can see straight through,
Fill it in, fill it in, 'cos it's shaped like you...
You are the star performer,
You walk upon the stage,
You are the star performer,
My glorious crusade,
Just try a little longing in your life,
We'll be like soldiers in disguise,
We're on a mission for your smile,
There's a hole carved in me you can see straight through,
Fill it in, fill it in, 'cos it's shaped like you,
There's a hole carved in me you can see straight through,
Fill it in, fill it in, 'cos it's shaped like you...
You are the star performer,
You walk upon the stage,
You are the star performer,
My glorious crusade,
Unsung, unsung...
You are the star performer,
You walk upon the stage,
You are the star performer,
Wake up rockstar you’ve gone too far
Now there’s no way back love
If you go if you go I’ll be calling on your radio
Is anyone listening?
Wake up driver
speed's not armour
Now there’s no way back i know
If you go if you go i’ll be calling on your radio
Is anyone listening?
If you go if you go i will tear this place apart
If you go if you go I will earn this bleeding heart
If you go if you go i’ll be calling on your radio
Is anyone listening?
Don’t you let me down, don’t you turn your head
I have earnt the right to be in this bed
i'm in shangri la, i'm in reverie
but all the time I'd rather be here
If you go if you go i will tear this place apart
If you go if you go I will earn this bleeding heart
If you go if you go i’ll be calling on your radio
