Back To The One Lyrics

Words and music by Roddy Frame
Swore I saw my true reflection
In the city lights at midnight
Fragments of a life led searching
Settle in a mess of colour
The hills at dawn with your cool dark daughter
Gazing down on the glittering water
Got a feeling that your favourite son
Must've known stone loneliness
I see the sea's horizon
Bend and sympathise with the blue sky
Sun burst and shatter
Throw your light across the square
Be my guide and take me there
Back to the one
Shadows scatter
Place towers at my feet
Lead me down through every street
Back to the one
Rise and toast the devil in you
Feel him catch his stride with angels
Chatterin' rails and cracklin' wires
Coast to coast deliver love and war
Honey from the bay of plenty
Soothes the Northern voice of anger
Crashin' waves 'neath the flash of storm
Trash the skies and it must be love
I feel my soul's horizons
Stretch in sympathy with her smile
Sun burst and shatter
Throw your light across the square
Be my guide and take me there
Back to the one
Shadows scatter
Place towers at my feet
Lead me down through every street
Back to the one
