day sleeper - a sea of it lyrics

[verse 1]
down, down over the bridge
bluing dome behind
neck cranes ahead
to steepest steeple
church perched upon a level
under wing direct
and over though
plunged into green, a sea of it
unoccupied but by
the constant ripple
in its feathered sleeve
a hand in the pool that no one sees
and n0body stirs
silver to grey to green
in a breath beneath

[verse 2]
then down again
where the flame in fife
billows undisguised
melts them to heaving lovers
side by side
one body spent
one with itself entwined
and it takes all my might
to find nothing
in all of this miraculous something
[chorus 1]
for too long i’ve hidden under overpass
but i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last

[verse 3]
and now here we are
between the high rise and the spider
dangling from the overpass
over crocodiles outside the pool hall
hands deep in chalky pockets
skin is weathered from the glow
of knife fights
spread+eagled through the orange grow
and bled into grey allotments
i’ll place my bets
the final furlong is oft merciless
when you’re alone in a place like this

[chorus 2]
for too long i’ve hidden under overpass
but i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
for too long i’ve hidden under overpass
but i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
[outro]
i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
i’m coming up to breathe
i’m coming up to last
