You propel yourself into the arms of god[00:00:01]
And christ and all the angels[00:00:07]
Now you’re high above the people[00:00:09]
Who you used to call your equals[00:00:12]
I will stay behind and live this life[00:00:16]
You left me as a witness[00:00:20]
Who can tidy up your business[00:00:22]
And record that someone lived here[00:00:26]
In the shade of Trellick Tower[00:00:31]
In those days of living gently[00:00:34]
Something holy used to love me[00:00:37]
Something holy used to touch me[00:00:40]
Then he heard the voice I couldn’t hear[00:00:44]
He’s gone to where it’s sent him[00:00:48]
And now I’m praying for this pain to clear[00:00:54]
He’s waiting on ascension[00:00:59]
And now I’m praying but there’s still no change[00:01:03]
You’re high as Trellick Tower[00:01:13]
Throw your head and when you let me spend[00:01:16]
My life trying to climb you[00:01:19]
And praying till my knees don’t fold[00:01:23]
Praying till my hands don’t close[00:01:27]
Praying till my fingers glow[00:01:30]
And you’ve propelled yourself into the arms of god[00:01:45]
And christ and all the saints[00:01:51]
Now I’ve been walking through our house[00:01:54]
Like separation made it sacred[00:01:56]
I’ve been buried in the books you left[00:02:00]
I treat them like they’re ancient[00:02:05]
And I think relics’ ache for when the saint had breath[00:02:09]
They miss the thing that changed them[00:02:16]
And I’m a relic and you’re so so high[00:02:24]
You’re high as Trellick Tower[00:02:29]
Throw your head and when you let me spend[00:02:32]
My life trying to climb you[00:02:36]
And praying till my knees don’t fold[00:02:39]
Praying till my hands don’t close[00:02:43]
Praying till my fingers glow[00:02:47]
And in the shade of Trellick Tower[00:02:55]
I spent a while trying to keep you[00:03:00]
Tell all the people moving on “hey[00:03:03]
Something holy used to live here”[00:03:06]
Now I’m a relic of a love gone by[00:03:09]
Kneeling to address the sky[00:03:15]
And I’ll keep praying till the binds untie[00:03:20]
Praying but I don’t know why[00:03:25]
And I’ll keep praying till the binds untie[00:03:29]
Praying but I don’t know why[00:03:34]
Oh I’ll pray until the language dies[00:03:44]
Praying ‘cause you’re so so high[00:03:50]
Can I spend my life trying to climb you[00:03:54]
