Paolo Nutini - Tricks Of The Trade lyrics
[Paolo Nutini - Tricks Of The Trade lyrics]
Was it love or recognition that
Has healed this man's condition?
Oh, I'm hoping and I'm wishing that
This bird won't fly away
And we can see life hand in hand
The green, the blue, the rock, the sand
And in our time and in our land
We'll savour every day
Oh how our glory may fade
Fade, well at least we've learned
Some things along the way
Oh you took me from my bubble
Knowing my defense was weak
And you sat there and you listened
Anytime I chose to speak
Oh, and you gathered from my pleas to
You that I am but a clown
No fear only a hero can
Defeat these demons now
And oh how our glory may fade
Baby, well at least we've learned
Some tricks of the trade
And as time shall inevitably move on
Well at least we'll have four strong legs to
Stand on - to keep us alive
Has healed this man's condition?
Oh, I'm hoping and I'm wishing that
This bird won't fly away
And we can see life hand in hand
The green, the blue, the rock, the sand
And in our time and in our land
We'll savour every day
Oh how our glory may fade
Fade, well at least we've learned
Some things along the way
Oh you took me from my bubble
Knowing my defense was weak
And you sat there and you listened
Anytime I chose to speak
Oh, and you gathered from my pleas to
You that I am but a clown
No fear only a hero can
Defeat these demons now
And oh how our glory may fade
Baby, well at least we've learned
Some tricks of the trade
And as time shall inevitably move on
Well at least we'll have four strong legs to
Stand on - to keep us alive
