Words and music by Roddy Frame



The sun that drowns everything in gold

Feeling it taking hold, holding her hand

The hue of her hair, colouring every care

Willing to share, who'd understand?



As faith breaks down

In the shadow of a cold cathedral



Chorus:

Make a wish for the one you love

As the storm sets the leaves in motion

Let it blow on the breeze of a deep blue ocean

Love's a bird in the human hand

Feel it breathe as your fingers open

Would it stay here and sing

If its wings were broken?

That's the method of love



By chance she calls

Shatters the mood I'm in

Letting the light shine in

Bathe me in grace

The trials of time

Course though this heart of mine

Feel her erase

Every trace



And stand by me

In the deluge of the slings and arrows



Chorus
