Everytime

David Gray


Down from the doorway and into the street 
I hear the morning bell 
Over and over the pattern repeat 
I hear the morning bell 
And all the faces cold as stone 
In the January chill 
You have led me into worlds unknown 
And I'm walking there still 

Everytime now 
Everytime now 
I think of you mine now 
I just can't contain 
I'm seven feet tall and 
There's nightingales calling 
Shooting stars falling 
Like jewels in the rain 

I ask myself, I ask myself 
Can this life be the same 
That spun me round and put me down 
And filled me up with shame 
And all the heads are turning now 
Down the Tottenham Court road 
Cause I just can't help but sing it out 
Case I just might explode 

Everytime now 
Everytime now 
I think of you mine now 
I can't comprehend 
The saxaphones blowning 
Cherry trees snowing 
Emeralds growing 
Right here in my hand 

A dance in the moonlight 
So high on a June night 
Magazines strewn right 
Over the chair 
Your spine a white ladder 
Your eyes singing sadder 
Nothing else seems to matter 
As soon as you're there 
And everytime now 
Everytime now 
I think of you mine now 
I just can't contain 
I'm seven feet tall and 
There's nightingales calling 
Shooting stars falling 
Like jewels in the rain 
Everytime now 
Everytime now 
Everytime now 
Everytime 
La da da, la da da
