Old Boots, Orange Blossom and Knives
There are those nights when the sounds are just right
And the clouds give way to angels in the sky
In our beds they hold us tightly
We bury ourselves in them, rejoice and cry
Boats arrive as boats are leaving
And the bedclothes are a tide
Everything pulled from its mooring
Toast the new friends dressed in fine words
We hold our arms to the heavens
Hoping to catch the things we desire
Thrown into the air, a bundle of confetti
Old boots, orange blossom and knives
On the table, a dying flower
The crumbs and wine stains of our last meal
Another year playing the hours
Another year of putting this on hold
Riding on the edge, cheap thrills at the sharp end
Speed kills when you're only killing time
Picking up pieces, the damage from a nail bomb
The planets lurch, and the angels smile
We hold our arms to the heavens
Hoping to catch the things we desire
Thrown into the air, a bundle of confetti
Old boots, orange blossom and knives
And the clouds give way to angels in the sky
In our beds they hold us tightly
We bury ourselves in them, rejoice and cry
Boats arrive as boats are leaving
And the bedclothes are a tide
Everything pulled from its mooring
Toast the new friends dressed in fine words
We hold our arms to the heavens
Hoping to catch the things we desire
Thrown into the air, a bundle of confetti
Old boots, orange blossom and knives
On the table, a dying flower
The crumbs and wine stains of our last meal
Another year playing the hours
Another year of putting this on hold
Riding on the edge, cheap thrills at the sharp end
Speed kills when you're only killing time
Picking up pieces, the damage from a nail bomb
The planets lurch, and the angels smile
We hold our arms to the heavens
Hoping to catch the things we desire
Thrown into the air, a bundle of confetti
Old boots, orange blossom and knives
