elbow - Six Words

22

I'm falling in love with you
I'm falling in love with you
Six words released like pearls
Into the brightening ether

And oh, to read those words returned
I'm fuzzy, I've stumbled onto
Some heavenly escalator

And oh, to read those words returned
The sky's gonna open up and

I'll be flooded out to open water Six lanes of homeward hearts
Glinting to the evening sun
Weary kids in bottle green
Same gate as the ancient scholars

Only falling gives you wings like these
Last wink of the sinking sun means
I get to see you later

You bring my hand to my heart
You fling all my plans to the wind
You wrote me a better part
Just in time to wind the clocks to the start
I'm part of everything again
Look who loves me
Look who loves me, I know
I know the view from up on top of the world
Now

I know your songbird soul You bring my hand to my heart
You fling all my plans to the wind
You wrote me a better part
Just in time to wind the clocks to the start
I'm part of everything again
Look who loves me
Look who loves me, I know
I know the view from up on top of the world
Now

I know your songbird soul You bring my hand to my heart
You fling all my plans to the wind
You wrote me a better part
Just in time to wind the clocks to the start
I'm part of everything again
Look who loves me
Look who loves me, I know
I know the view from up on top of the world
Now I know your songbird soul
