TEAR IT ALL DOWN


Powered by Castpost

It's been a profound, emotional and intense 48 hours. I can't thank you all enough for just being there, for the comments and the emails and the incredibly kind and wise words. I'm touched beyond belief.

And I've emerged from my cocoon somewhat wiser, and definitely with stronger wings.

Pressed up against this shop front

Drawing faces there in Crayon

Its a long way from the pocket full of rain

And you have walked the streets for hours

With your loose change and your flowers

And now I'll learn your body like a nursery rhyme in braille

Its a simple explanation for the paths that you have taken

You have stumbled from the cradle to a prayer

But in this darkened room we have got heart enough to burn

We can dance away the hours we can leave our questions there

and we'll tear it all down

So welcome to our winning streak no broken bones or old deceits

Its you and me versus this little town

We're the rag dolls in the gutter we're the curses that they'll mutter

And you will still be trying on my heart just like a crown

and we'll tear it all down

I know your tactics all the practice this bravery took

And the flags are flying you're trying out a different look

So theres a candle in the window I've got a lousy history of tomorrows

So I'll spill the beans in every little sound

You are the creaking of the door

you are the chorus of applause

You are wishbones and the axis that these songs will spin around

I'm leaving my journal right there on the table for you, handle it carefully.
