Johnny Flynn - The Lady is Risen lyrics

She loves full and true
As a fighting bequest
She was given her earth by a sea come to rest
And the children she bore loved
This truly too much
Calloused pride come to die in
Our hands as we touch and so soften me now
Let me take as it's given
For the wind's started up and
The lady is risen

Is it snowing in London and warm in your bed?
Have I nothing to give you
I'm cold in your head
But, you're burning in mine
Come to rest off the train
In the silence you've gone and
The train comes again
It's been years since I saw you
I've learned how to live
And the love's back in swing
And the lady is risen
Tell me where have the saints gone
Oh where is the pull
They flourished in times that
Were guarded with wool
You know limbless they marched till
They fell off the map
Are you sick of them falling
Like crumbs on your lap
You once told me that this
Isn't all that there is
And the band started up and the lady is risen

You know life isn't always like
The end of your novels
Oh, things might wind up
But they always unravel
And I'll watch you with eyes that can see
I can see that you're too good at pulling
That wool over me
And I'll fight but there's nothing
Here I find to resist
And the wind's started up and
The lady is risen
