lyrics

CARRIED AWAY

what did you do for that country its so very old did you offer a chair, no i offered it nothing for it is something for which i don't care,
the balance lies with the others and i will never be there, so i gave that country my finger and i took the chair.
how come there's rain in my room rain in my head rain in my boots and how are the walls on fire the hairdryer on and I'm still alive ,i should be counting my blessings i should be counting the flights and the distance there is between me and the people outside.

sedation love of my life mate of my soul take me to Paris, and let me shine like a light, bright as a coal till i go out.then you wake me so angry then you wake me so mad oh sedation you treat me so well but you treat me so bad.
the days the months the weeks giving me grief I've no real belief. but the luminous cross in the distance draws me in and i sit and listen and as i leave for the ferry i notice I'm lighter on shame, were all god bless god for taking some blame.

and i was carried away....
