Elbow - Colour Fields lyrics
[Elbow - Colour Fields lyrics]
Did well to be ignored
Your falling temperature like cooling kisses
All through your head a made-up water’s edge
A summer gone on tabling fabled blisses
I’d love to see you waving
From the far side of the swim
Gathered in by a waiting troop
Of the open- hearted
Where colour field meets canvas
And the picture breathes you in
Where all the stories meant for
You have already started
Bright girl, dead town
Walking tall but blown around
The secret chainmail gown of
Your father’s blessing
Bright girl, dead town
Open mouths for miles around
I still see you keeping
Those dough boys guessing
I’d love to see you waving
From the far side of the swim
Gathered in by a waiting troop
Of the open- hearted
Where colour field meets canvas
And the picture breathes you in
Where all the stories meant for
You have already started
Bright girl, dead town
Bright girl, dead town
Bright girl, dead town
Bright girl, dead town
Open mouths for miles around
Bright girl, dead town
Bright girl, dead town
Bright girl, dead town
Bright girl, dead town
Bright girl, dead town
Open mouths for miles around
Bright girl, dead town
