Esmerelda lyrics - Ben Howard
Oh, blinded, now I see
That I could not hold you
My orange tree,
Left in the darkened room for three of us to share.
Oh, maybe you were free,
Before my blackened wing covered you,
I took the sing from your song
I made a bed,
Where you don't belong.
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.
Black Sea, I failed to be a light you found in love.
Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.
Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved.
Now I'm going places on my own.
Blinded, now I see
That death moves amongst us,
And with such ease the rafters surround us.
These silent beasts are hard to bear.
Lonely, oh, no not me
I have a grave to dig, fast moving feet.
You gave me light
Where it once was gone.
I made a bed,
Where you don't belong.
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.
Black Sea, I failed to be the light you found in love.
Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.
Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved.
Now I'm going places on my own.
Oats In The Water lyrics - Ben Howard
Go your way,
I'll take the long way 'round,
I'll find my own way down,
As I should.
And hold your gaze
There's coke in the Midas touch
A joke in the way that we rust,
And breathe again.
And you'll find loss
And you'll fear what you found
When weather comes
Tearing down
There'll be oats in the water
There'll be birds on the ground
There'll be things you never asked her
Oh how they tear at you now
Go your way,
I'll take the long way 'round,
I'll find my own way down,
As I should.
And hold your gaze
There's coke in the Midas touch
A joke in the way that we rust,
And breathe again.
And you'll find loss
And you'll fear what you found
When weather comes
Tearing down
There'll be oats in the water
There'll be birds on the ground
There'll be things you never asked her
Oh how they tear at you now
To Be Alone lyrics - Ben Howard
To be alone...
I don’t need no body, Oh I, I don’t need no body,
Oh I don’t need no body to be alone, to be alone.
And in the darkness a shallow poison it has grown,
I bite my tongue there’s a fever I will not let it show.
I don’t need no body, Oh I, I don’t need no body,
Oh I don’t need no body to be alone, to be alone.
And in the darkness a shallow poison it has grown,
I bite my tongue there’s a fever I will not let it show.
And in the darkness a shallow poison it has grown,
I bite my tongue there’s a fever I will not let it show.
I don’t need no body, Oh I, I don’t need no body,
Oh I don’t need no body to be alone, to be alone
To be alone...
Burgh Island lyrics - Ben Howard (feat. Monica Heldal)
With brown eyes shining, a sure light on a way to go
And the sun chides you're reeling home, against your glow
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
And your eyes screamed it, Burgh Island, in sepia tones
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I ever known
With brown eyes shining, a sure line on a way to go
And the sun chides you so long
And we lost sight of it, and breath tied up in summer's hold
And we'll break for it, on Burgh Island in sepia tones
And if I was ever to leave, I'll say before I go
That you're the best woman I have ever known
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
The wind blew in
Oh, I bite my tongue, that you may be the first to ruin
'Cause I heard it sung, that man is a fickle child
The wind blew in
