Ben Howard - Cloud Nine lyrics

Shadows on the water
From a memory that turns inside
From the last time I saw you happier
Than I've seen you in a long time

And all these faces, oh how they adore you
With every blessing
Every strength of the storm
And it seems to me it
All worked out so different
Funny how distance and time they
Don't change at all

So may your worries, may your worries
Never fall too loud
And may you stay here, may you stay here
Happy in your own skin on the ninth cloud
Cold to every warning

Oh these ships that passed through
Years before
And bolder now, than a brand new morning
With the sun on your face
The bruise and the breaks
Of these careless arms

So hold your body, hold your body
Strong in these winds that blind
May I find you
May we sit together when we're grey and old
On cloud nine

This life will move you
With every step outside
It's alright, it's alright
My arms are open wide for you
This life will move you as
Graceful as the tide
It's alright, it's alright
Loosen the fears that bind you
Loosen the fears that bind you
