Games In The Dark lyrics - Ben Howard
We played games in the park
And I want to stay there,
Close to your heart
And you said “Oh, I can feel your heart beat,”
And I told you, “Sometimes when I stay the night, I find it hard, hard to sleep”
Oh, we played, yeah, like lovers in the moonlight
We stay here, stubborn in the softness and the light
Oh, how close to heaven can you get,
Before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh, baby,
You were like a child when you wept,
Yeah, through soul sang lullabies
Eyes, e-e-eyes, Oh, Eyes, e-e-eyes
We played games with the distance
Made phone calls, phone calls just to listen
We held, oh, mornings from the start,
You said “Baby, maybe, maybe, I never want to make your heart less”
For now, words get lost in the dark
For when the morning comes,
That you dropped out the start
Oh, how close to heaven can you get,
Before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh, baby,
You were like a child when you wept,
Oh, through soul sang lullabies
Eyes, e-e-eyes,
Yeah, how close to heaven can you get,
Before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh, mama,
You were like a child when you wept,
Oh, through soul sang lullabies
Eyes, e-e-eyes, Oh, Eyes, e-e-eyes
And you’re under the same set of stars
We lay there, worlds apart
And you still say “I can feel your heart beat”
And I still find it hard in the middle of the night, oh, trying to sleep
Oh come, find me when the years get older, find me when the world
Lights solder to our fire, oh, oh, no
Find me when the years get older, find me when the world
Lights solder to our fire,
Oh, whoa, Oh whoa, solder…
To our fire
Wouldn't Be A Lie lyrics - Ben Howard
Maybe I could have changed your mind;
Maybe you could thought about someone else,
Rather than yourself, oh anybody but yourself.
And I know you felt lonely;
Yeah I know people try to get you down
And all around those laughing faces,
Single you out in the crowd
Oh single you out in the crowd
I tried so hard, to help you understand;
To put some hope into your hands
And all the time, you cried and said to me
"Why can't everything be right?"
Each time I have to put up a fight
And the world keeps on winning,
Oh yeah the world keeps on winning
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight, night,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you, missing you, missing you
Never thought that you, that you wouldn't be here;
Never thought that I would see these tears fall
And all these lonely times I'm feeling without you,
Knowing I don't have you through it all,
Knowing I don't have you through it all
No it wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight, night,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you at all,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight, night,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you,
Oh wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you tonight,
Wouldn't be a lie if I said I was missing you, missing you, missing you,
Missing you, missing you
Ocean Song lyrics - Ben Howard
Been here staring, staring at the rain too long
Winter cold burning at my toes
Seems like everything, everything I'm doing's going wrong somehow
Feeling blue everywhere that I go
And I'm trying, trying yeah, to remember her grace
Trying, trying oh, to recapture her words so pure
Ooh, the lines on her face
Honey, what the hell are we doing this for?
What the hell are we doing this for at all?
Found her letter under a stone
Told of giants, kings, palaces and gold, palaces and gold
Somewhere, somewhere over the horizon
I swear, I swear I'm going out there, to find them, to find them
Oh, I'm going to the ocean, no no no
Answer some of these questions that have been pulling me down
All this time
Over mountains, mountains of black and white
Till I know, know what I've found here
Till I know, know what I've found here
Darling, won't you wait for me?
Darling, won't you be there standing at the shore
Cause I'll be coming home, coming home soon
Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you
Been here trying, trying to kill my head
Dreaming of words, words my father always said to me
He said don't, don't be afraid of the dark sometimes
In your hours of hurt, so that's when you'll find
How strong a heart can be
How beautiful the summer breeze
How carefree is the seabird as it flies
How much I really need
Yeah, I'm going to the ocean, no no no
Answer some of these questions that have been pulling me down
All this time
Over mountains, mountains of black and white
Till I know, know what I've found here
Till I know, know what I've found here
Darling, won't you wait for me?
Darling, won't you be there standing at the shore
Cause I'll be coming home, coming home soon
Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you
I'll be coming home, coming home soon
Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you
Jessica lyrics - Ben Howard
Young girl of only 19
Beautiful smile
Looked just like her dream
Her parents were so proud
Came from the southern counties
Deep Blue eyes
Saw more than I see
Hair blew with the wind
Goes to a party
Everyone turns to see
Beautiful Jessica of only 19
Out on the same night
Two middleweights got into to many fights
But they were ok
Yeah they were alright
Alright, alright
One man says to the other
Wouldn't it be nice to get me a lover
The other one turns round and says
Don't you remember, don't you forget
It was only last December
That girl you called Julliet
You've had more than me
Someone hits the side of the car
Pale faces baby its a night of alarm
They stop 50 yards down the road
Walking back they see tyre marks
Under a sycamore tree
Walking back they see Jessica's eyes
Bright as bright as can be
One man says to the other
I think we better get out of here
I don't wanna be on the TV news
I don't wanna be on the TV news
Hearts racing for the rest of the night
Fears of the wrong and the right
Seconds turning
Your world fades to Blue
Jessica's heart stopped beating
Under the star light
And the sirens bleeping
Morales of humankind
Left by the side of the road
One man says to the other
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe in this world
Everyway I look I see
I see the shuddering cold
I can feel the the Devil
The Devil on my shoulder
On my shoulder
On my shoulder
One man of only honestly
Made a mistake for which
He can never ever be free
Let the gates of heaven
Judge his soul
Falling to the sea below
The sea below
Meanwhile in another part of town
Cops trying to earn his crown
Trying to fight for justice
He just doesn't know
Justice lives at the bottom of the soul
Walking back he sees tire marks
Under a sycamore tree
Walking back he sees this man this man
Can never be free
Goes to the house on the same night
Finds the man he needs to his delight
Puts him in a jail house
Which such a rat deserves
Such a rat deserves
One man says to the other
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you brother?
Where are you when I needed you most?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you brother?
Where are you when I needed you most?
Sitting in a 6 foot cell
Dreams that could of been accomplished
It's a living hell
Tears fall from his eyes
Fall from his eyes
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying, he's crying
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud god can hear
So loud god can hear
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Love can you hear me now?
Oh can you hear me now?
Back To The River (Rough Cut) lyrics - Ben Howard
Through these trees
And bracken stains
Over fields where lovers lay here
Waiting for a spark
Under the old oak tree
Where it all came down
Under the old oak tree
Where I swear I swear
I found her
I remember fireflies
In the evening glow
Oh bodies moving
So soft and so slow
Yeah bridges made
Of moss and stone
These are our lands
These were silver stains
On our souls
I'm going back to the river
Though I know it'll never taste so sweet
I'll go back to the river
Searching for childhood memories
I'll go back to the river
Though I know it'll never taste so sweet
I'll go back to the river
Searching for childhood childhood memories
Through these trees and bracken stains
Over fields where lovers lay here
Waiting for a spark
Under the old oak tree
Where it all came down
Under the old oak tree
Where I swear I swear
I found her
I remember fireflies in the evening glow
Oh butterflies that burn
So low down down
Oh bridges made
Of moss and stone
These are our lands
These are silver stains
On our souls
I'll go back to the river
Though I know it'll never taste so sweet
I'll go back to the river
Searching for childhood memories
I'll go back to the river
Though I know it'll never taste so sweet
I'll go back to the river
Searching for childhood...
I'll go back to the river
Though I know it'll never taste so sweet
I'll go back to the river
Searching for childhood...
Yeah im going back to the river
Though I know it'll never taste so sweet
I'll go back to the river
Searching for childhood childhood memories
