left home and kept on leaving

walked off into this morning

sunrise cuts the darkness

steps & stores with well worn warning

touch down, a perfect landing

missing, but he's still standing, barely

english sunset, sun in your eyes

dusk sweeps over us tonight

rainy brixton holidays

red brick parks and alleyways

lion's roar silenced and still

a test of strength, test of our will, waiting

a waiting van, a passing phase

phone calls from you to pass the days

from caffine highs to midnight lows

punch drunk heartache blow by blow

i'll wait for you in hotel rooms

in rain soaked days we pass the gloom

the northern star tonight will set the course

english sunset, sweet goodbyes

the wind is in our sails tonight

rainy brixton memories

i pull myself closer to me

the lion's roar in vain tonight

a distant call, a distant fight, someday

a waiting van, a passing phase

i'll aim right for you

phone calls from you to pass the days

from caffine highs to midnight lows

punch drunk heartache blow by blow

i'll wait for you in hotel rooms

in rain soaked days we pass the gloom

the northern star tonight will set the course

a waiting van, a passing phase

i'll aim right for you

phone calls from you to pass the days

from caffine highs to midnight lows

punch drunk heartache blow by blow

i'll wait for you in hotel rooms

in rain soaked days we pass the gloom

the northern star tonight will set the course
