Johnny Flynn - Amazon Love lyrics

Everybody in this place is dreaming
It's been that way forever
They're all gonna wake up soon
They'll all be hell for leather
Up the smoky walls of yesterday
And the dusty prints of last year
And nicotine burning sycophants
And the glowing mould of fear

Gonna sweep this house clean out
Gonna blow out all of the lights
We'll dream back up the Amazon
We'll steer her home tonight
We'll steer her home tonight

In the elegant sails of infinity
And the blowing winds of old love
Are the words from the mouths
Of the delicate crowds
In the shimmering realms up above

Blow me home, blow me home, blow me home
Take me in, hold me close, blow me home
We're aware of perspective to not be rejected
Blow me home, blow me home, blow me home
Blow me home, blow me home, blow me home

Now, quick to the cut are we waking
And seeing it all as the dream
The pillars that raised us are shaking
And Samson's wheel is the fiend
That one minute we see and the next we don't
In our minds, in the devil's long tail
Slapping sense to it's peak and a hard
Strung-out week
And sold back to the love in our sails

Gonna sweep this house clean out
Gonna blow out all of the lights
We'll dream back up the Amazon
We'll steer her home tonight
We'll steer her home tonight
We'll steer her home tonight
