Patrick Wolf - Blackdown lyrics
[Patrick Wolf - Blackdown lyrics]
And I walked west Sussex sunlight
Up by dead mans pool
Where ma, mudlark and lewes
Stared me down, you drunken fool
Old teenage debts engulfed my chest
As I contemplate death
Put a challenge to it's glamour
And all it's loss and glory
Wet afternoon breath
Was taken deep into my lungs
Thinking of the man I must become
My story has just begun
And I will be returning to myself soon
For I've been alone for too many
Of the great moments in my life
Alone like so many
But at this moment in my life
Father, father, any way I can help ye?
I am only just growing better to know thee
Thank you for all the things
You've given to our family
Given with your heart to your wife
And my sister and me
Now i look out west of battle
Where our ancestors lie in grave
Out to breed where the blacksmith put
Root to our family name
I get proud of my birthright
Think of the things i must leave
When I leave behind the city
And the living
Finally
(The temple of the winds blows, until the boy
Wakes from his six year slumber alive, alone
We take the next step)
Desire desire
Deep down inside of me
You are not the maker nor the master of me
Help me to better support my family
To better better of a brother be
Desire desire
Deep down inside of me
You are not the wrecker nor the ruler of me
Desire desire
Deep down in me
I've been alone for so many of
These great moments in my life
Lone like so many
But at this moment of my life
Desire, despair and death i challenge thee
All as i walked up on blackdown
Up by dead mans pool
Where ma, mudlark and lewes
Stared me down, you drunken fool
Old teenage debts engulfed my chest
As I contemplate death
Put a challenge to it's glamour
And all it's loss and glory
Wet afternoon breath
Was taken deep into my lungs
Thinking of the man I must become
My story has just begun
And I will be returning to myself soon
For I've been alone for too many
Of the great moments in my life
Alone like so many
But at this moment in my life
Father, father, any way I can help ye?
I am only just growing better to know thee
Thank you for all the things
You've given to our family
Given with your heart to your wife
And my sister and me
Now i look out west of battle
Where our ancestors lie in grave
Out to breed where the blacksmith put
Root to our family name
I get proud of my birthright
Think of the things i must leave
When I leave behind the city
And the living
Finally
(The temple of the winds blows, until the boy
Wakes from his six year slumber alive, alone
We take the next step)
Desire desire
Deep down inside of me
You are not the maker nor the master of me
Help me to better support my family
To better better of a brother be
Desire desire
Deep down inside of me
You are not the wrecker nor the ruler of me
Desire desire
Deep down in me
I've been alone for so many of
These great moments in my life
Lone like so many
But at this moment of my life
Desire, despair and death i challenge thee
All as i walked up on blackdown
