coope, boyes and simpson - falling slowly lyrics

[verse]
another friday dance hall drunken night, hung over til morning
unfamiliar bedsit passion rubber+stamped with a government health warning
milk, mail, then headaches arrive, i’m counting cracks in the ceiling
there’s toast and closeness, but i’m all confused with this warm, unfamiliar feeling

[chorus]
for the glass is rising and the temperature’s high
but i’m still falling slowly

[verse]
no conversation, no forwarding address, no ties, it goes without saying
just love well and leave and then off with the tide was the game that i thought i was playing
but back in my steel world, trapped by the freedom
how i feel therе’s no way of knowing
and the routine can’t hide, thеre’s no turning back
and the need to be near you is growing
[chorus]
for the glass is rising and the temperature’s high
but i’m still falling slowly

[verse]
a cold back against a bulkhead, sleepless now at midnight
she buries her head in the dark, dark seas and i wonder, are you alright?
then a voice comes on the radio, confirms we’ve got foul weather
can you hear that same voice far away? do you wish that we were together?

[bridge]
there’s no bawdy barroom tales of weekend conquest
you’ve left this sailor all at sea
and i’m alone with my private thoughts, warm in the memory
can this be happening to me?

[verse]
so, i’ll just dream about the shore lights that’ll tell me that i’m home
and i’ll step down upon the quay side, and maybe wonder why i roam
for we may be more than a weekend obsession perhaps i’m always a sailor
but i know i want you, and i know i need you
as a lover but not as a jailer

[chorus]
for the glass is rising and the temperature’s high
but i’m still falling slowly
yes the glass is rising and the temperature’s high
but i’m still falling slowly
