Dead Letters (2022)












Here And Now lyrics - Aqualung

So
We've been spiralling
Been spinning around between a haven't and a had
And
Never deciphering
Just why and when it all began to go so bad
Yet
There's no denying love
It's just gets harder to tell if you're drifting in
Or fading out

Oh but I
I miss your kiss
I miss your smile

I hope you know
Here and now
I'm telling you I love you so
Here and now
How
This is a love worth fighting for
Here and now
So
While my heart's
Beating
Let's be in love

When
We become becalmed
When we run aground
Out in the middle of the open sea
Please don't delete your messages
Just bottle them up and
Hope they float around to me

Darling I
I miss your kiss
I miss your smile

I hope you know
Here and now
I'm telling you I love you so
Here and now
How
This is a love worth fighting for
Here and now
So
While my heart's
Beating
Let's be in love
Let's be in love

Let's be in love
Let's be in love

I hope you know
Here and now
I'm telling you I love you so
Here and now
How
This is a love worth fighting for
Here and now
So
While my hand
Holding
Holding my breath
Breathing
My heart's
Beating
Let's be in love
Let's be in love
Let's be in love
Let's be in love

Champion Of The World lyrics - Aqualung

Standing on my shoulders
With your chin squared at the world
Taking on the world

Growing always growing
Are you looking where you're going, honey?

So you're a soldier now?
Your heart marching to that beat
You got it
Your boots just a bit too big for your feet

But you're a soldier now
Champion of the world

Filling in your feathers
Always dreaming of the sky
Just don't look down

And we'll be down here beaming
Barely breathing
Til you're back on solid ground

So you're a soldier now?
Your heart belting out that tune
You got it
Your feet just a bit too big for your shoes
You grab it
Jumped in like you got nothing to lose
You got it
And who knows where you're taking it to...

But you're a soldier now
You're a soldier now, now, now

Can we just stop for a second
Freeze frame, just stop for a second
Take a look at that face for a second
Just remember this place for a second
Kick open that door
Champion of the world

Sail on, Danny
Sail on, Danny
Sail on

Your turn to be champion now
Sail on, Danny, oh
Your turn to be champion now
Sail on, Danny, oh
Your turn to be champion now
You're a soldier now
You're a soldier now
It's your turn to be champion now

It's your turn to be a champion now...

Fool lyrics - Aqualung

I still don't know
What I was waiting for
When nothing changes anymore
The world still turning in the usual way
And the two of us go on the same
Just the two of us

It's been a while since I told the truth
The way I feel when I look at you
The words are old
And they're overused
But that doesn't stop them
Being true

So I'm going to say it
Straight out
You're the star in my sky
And all I do
Is reflect your light
You think I'm a fool
I think you're right

Some people say
That the magic's gone
Once you find out how
The trick is done
But I watch those same old records
Spin
And I never want the song to end
Just play me the same old song
Again

So don't you hear what I say?
You're the hurricane
That blows me away
I close my eyes
And I hold on tight
You think I'm a fool
I think you're right

I do
I hold on tight
You think I'm a fool
I think you're right

The other morning
The sun came out
Pushed his arms
Right through the clouds
I looked at you
And I heard you say
"I hope you shine on me
Til my dying day"
Won't you shine on me
Won't you shine on me
Won't you shine on me
Won't you shine on me

I'm going to say it
I'm going to say it
I'm going to say it
I'm going to say it

You think I'm a fool
You think I'm a fool

I'm going to say it
Straight out
You're the star in my sky
And all I do
Is reflect your light
You think I'm a fool
I think you're right
I think you're right
I think you're right

Imperfect Cadence lyrics - Aqualung

Sweet soul
How we rock and we roll
And I'd give anything
To take it back and change everything

Sweet soul
The music swallows you whole
And you're the only one
Who really hears where it's coming from

Unfinished sentence
Still singing on a broken chord
Imperfect cadence
Still waiting on the right resolve

Old friend
There's a text that won't send
It says forgive me
I owe you every note that you've given me

Your sweet song
We softly singing along
I hear it everywhere
Just turn it up, it is everywhere

Unfinished sentence
Still singing on a broken chord
Imperfect cadence
Still waiting on the right resolve

Uncommon radiance
Still singing on a broken chord
Imperfect cadence
Still waiting on the right resolve

Still singing on a broken chord
Still waiting on the right resolve

November lyrics - Aqualung

Woke up this morning
With my heartache gone
Bright golden morning
Shining everyone

You held my daughter's hand
You held my daughter's hand

This strange November
Leaves fluttering
Still long November
Winter muttering

You kissed my son today
You kissed his frown away
You held my son today

I remembered the song we were singing
Just remembered the dream we were dreaming
There was noise on the line but it's gone, gone
Gone
And everything's clear
And everything's quiet

Woke up this morning
[?]
Spoke up this morning
Took a deeper breath

You hold my mother's hand
I hold my mother's hand
She held her mother's hand

Not asking for some toll certainty
Just one pacific possibility

See my father's eyes
Look in my father's eyes
You held the son today

I remembered the song we were singing
Just remembered the dream we were dreaming
Couldn't hear for the noise but it's gone, gone
Gone
And everything's quiet
And everything's clear
And you were right there
And I am right here

And I hear it
I hear it now
I hear it
I hear it now
I can hear it
I can hear it now

Possible Impossible lyrics - Aqualung

Impossible to fight
When I'm only half right
When there's nobody in the ring
But me

Impossible to win
But I'll never give in
Until I lose everything
So please

Don't change my mind
I'm not ready to be wrong
Don't you
Open my eyes
Cos I've known it all along

I know what I had
I know what you want
But there's something in the way
There's something in the way now

Was it impossible to be
What I needed to be
When you dared me to look
Your way?

Was it impossible to see
What was coming for me
Or had I turned and turned
Away?

Don't change my mind
I'm not ready to be wrong
Don't you
Open my eyes
Cos I've known it all along

I know what you need
You need me to stay
But there's something in the way
There's something in the way

I'd fall at your feet
Collapse in your arms
But there's something in the way
Something in the way now

Something in the way now
Always in the way now

Add Me Up lyrics - Aqualung

When the next note falls
I will tell her
When the right word calls
I will tell her
Whether short or tall
She's the measure of me

And when I lose my way
My inner vision
When I sweat and sway
Through the long division
She's the prayer I pray
The answer I need

I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
To add me up
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
To add me up, add me up
So add me up, add me

There's a secret key
To our composition
Wonky symmetry
In our isorhythm
Only you plus me
Could ever undo

I need it, I need
When the right words call
When the magic of the right notes fall
I will grab it
And I'll sing them all
I'll sing and I'll sing and
I'll sing 'til I've summed up them all

I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
To add me up
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
To add me up, add me up
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
To add me up, add me up
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
To add me up, add me up
So add me up, add me up

Cause I can't figure me out
No I can't figure me out
I just can't figure me out
No I can't figure me out out out

Devotion lyrics - Aqualung

Silent, still my mountain sleeps
Ancient foothills buried deep
Bale of bone, your counsel keeps
Me wondering, oh wonder

Whisper to her stony face
Show me my enchanted place
Concertina time and space
It's everywhen, always

And when I'm gone
Turned into songs
You'll be the one
To guide me home
Tide me back home

Overflow the ocean
This is my devotion
My one secret benediction
My only

Bad Dreams lyrics - Aqualung

What goes up must surely come down
And ever since my luck turned around
That's been ringing in my ears

And maybe there's no credit or debt
And it's just a matter of holding your breath
And laughter isn't weighed in tears?

I'll take the bad dreams
Gladly suffer those bad dreams
Every broken goodnight
Every missing heartbeat
Oh I take the bad dreams
Gladly suffer those bad bad dreams
If it keeps you safe
If it keeps you safe
One more day

Every living thing moves, every living thing grows
And one day you'll wave from your yellow brick road
And I'll wave back 10 fingers crossed

Wondering when the time comes what will you choose?
Something to live for or nothing to lose?
Sunburst smile or midnight blues?

I, I, I
I, I, I
I'll take the bad dreams
Gladly suffer those bad dreams
Every broken goodnight
Every missing heartbeat
Oh I take the bad dreams
Gladly suffer those bad bad dreams
If it keeps you safe love
If it keeps you safe

The falling, the burning
The knock at the door
The knocking, the screaming
The silence, the roar
The tearing, the killing
The ariel view
Your beautiful face
On the 10 o'clock news
The mountain you climb
But you never come down
The misunderstanding
The wrong side of town
That scared motherfucker
Who's standing his ground
On and on oh

I'll take the bad dreams
Every broken goodnight
Missing heartbeat
Oh I take the bad dreams
Sweat a lifetime of bad bad dreams
If it keeps you safe
Keeps you safe
One more day
One more day
