Ben Howard · The Burgh Island Ep [2012]

Oh, blinded now I see that I

Could not hold you

My orange tree left in the darkened

Room for three of us to share.



Oh maybe you were free before my

Blackened wind covered you

I took the sing from your song

I made a bed,

Where you don't belong.



Oh pull me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.

Black Sea, I failed to be the light you found in love.

Oh pull me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.

Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved.



Now I'm going places on my own.



Blinded now I see the death

Moves amongst us,

And with such ease arrived

To surround us.

These silent beasts are hard to bear.



Lonely, oh no not me

I have a grave to dig.

Fast moving feet, you gave me light

Where it once was gone

I made a bed,

Where you don't belong.



Oh pull me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.

Black Sea, I failed to be the light you found in love.

Oh pull me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.

Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved.



Now I'm going places on my own.
