Leave To Remain

Kathryn Williams Leave To Remain Lyrics
1.Blue Onto You

Blue I love you
But you're so sad
It's deep above us and deep below
It's smooth on krishna's skin
And blue doesn't really exist

Colour happens within us
A thought from light it bursts in the morning
And it bathes in the night

They bathe jaundiced babies in blue light
Progressive medicine is a thought from light
I was wrong about moonlight
And I was wrong about you

Blue came from within me
And I pushed the thought of light
Onto you
Onto you

Dada da da da dada da da da da
dada da da da da. Da da dada da

Blue came from within me
and I pushed the thought of light
onto you


2.Let It Happen

Have you been crying to yourself
Is your imagination ever going to stop
Dressed in brown to match the seine
Your eyes like dark windows
Your brain's working faster than the cars

Let it happen relax
Don't try to fight it
It's slipped away and it's never
Coming back

The sky open and blue
Like the letters that came from Africa
We look at drawings of lions
And imagine them sat by gas fires
Sat by gas fires

Let it happen relax
Don't try to fight it
It's slipped away and it's never
Coming back

I want to cry but I can't
Like when it's too cold to snow
The day I left the wind blew shut
Velvet curtains
I became older

Let it happen relax
Don't try to fight it

It's slipped away and it's never
Coming back and it's never
Coming back
It's never coming back and its never
Coming back.


3.Sustain Pedal

Your breath from a kiss went down my throat
I felt how you breathed into the world
Kiss me if only for one might
It's not a matter of love
Lets just make one night feel right

Shy away again pull your eyes down
Hold your breath and then let it out

Hold the sustain pedal down
Make this note last until it's drowned
Kiss me and put the world to right
Kiss me if only for one night

Shy away again pull your eyes down
Hold your breath then let it out

Hold the sustain pedal down
Make this note
Last until it's drowned


4.Stevie

She draws scratchy pen and ink women and cats
She looks like any old lady dressed in another time hat
Walking to the shops, thinking of dead things that rhyme
She's with another time

You might see her over there
Stevie's not waving but drowning

Normal people in the park beat with monkey hearts
And she draws on them with cries and smiles
And one day we'll all be done in
But it's more about the living

You might see her over there
Stevie's not waving but drowning

They say that she's obsessed about death and that
But what else do you laugh at?
While you live your live she don't care
She won't be possessed and that's why
She's stood over there
And Stevie's not waving but drowning


5.Sandy L

My name is sandy L sandy L
I named myself after myself
I watch people and people watch me
The best time is when they sleep

I'm going to dream of dreaming

My name is sandy L sandy L
Sometimes I end up talking to myself
I can see them and they can see me
Laid flat like a closed book
Closed to you closed to me

I'm going to dream of dreaming

Streets aren't so easy for me
You need a place to go and a place you've been
My hardware is humming with me
That and you on the screen keeps me company

You don't need to know people to love them,
as long as you don't want to own them

I'm going to dream of dreaming

My name is sandy L sandy L
It's my password, my logo, my business, my shadow
I've switched off and I've shut down
I can see the lights from the town going out going out

I'm going to dream of dreaming
Next to somebody dreaming
I'm going to dream of dreaming
Next to somebody dreaming
I'm going to dream of dreaming
Next to somebody dreaming
I'm going to dream of dreaming
Next to somebody dreaming

I'm going to dream.


6.When

When all the nights have come
When all the day time goes
When all the work is done what then

When your lovers come
When your love has gone
When a touch comes down on who it's meant to rest on

We've saved for a time
That may not come
Working for names above doors
To get everything done
We're flapping about for a week in the sun

Is there someone there?
A click on the line
Are you playing a game?
For a call I'll be waiting

When you sat at your table
When you drank yourself silly
Just to forget that in the week they own your energies

We've saved for a time
That may not come
Working for names above doors
To get everything done
We're flapping around for a week in the sun
Da dad a dada dad a dad a dad a daa
Down down down down


7.Glass Bottom Boat

Your face has all the features
Of my favourite landscape
Wild rocky and desolate
A place where the weather can play
I've seen it so many times tired or asleep
I've seen it try and hide it when
There's people you don't want to see

And it's never the same
Like the sun on the run
And I'm never the same
Now I've found someone

We're sat in barry's bar
We're as tired as rock pools
We've been fucking all afternoon
Burning like fossil fuel
I feel like you've turned me into
A glass bottomed boat
You see everything I hide but still
Keep me afloat

Wild rocky and desolate, is that all I can say
I held your hand , but I still look away
I can see that I lost it now, scared of the day
But you were always there, telling me
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid

While winter comes autumn hides
While winter comes autumn hides


8.Hollow

Your need fills the hollow in me
You hit speed to slow the solemn in you
There's a time and a place
But this isn't it, this isn't it

Can I live with the hole?
Leaving you behind leaves
Without the plan or the plough
It gets bigger the seed
Of doubt, the seed

Like the click of a camera
The world's stopped for my scrutiny
I can magnify raindrops
And see what they slice through
I can push back forgotten
And ring in the new, ring in the new

Can I live with the space?
Leaving you behind leaves
Without wanting a light
Constellations appear
Is this my course?
With doubts?
Your need fills the hollow in me
Can I still fill the hollow in you?


9.Opened

Nights have fallen down on you
Because of him
Claustrophobic, sleeping hot
Law can't keep the power
That you want within

But who is your future resting it's head upon?
Will you love in the same way?
Or will it come back unopened?

Change came unexpected
Like it always does
You either move with it
Or run away from it's clutches
But it will come back

Where is you future going to settle down?
Will you move pushing boundaries?
Or leave them unopened?

Is this your future holding back your heart?
Keeping it at a distance
To never be unopened
To never be opened


10.Room In My Head

There's a room in my head
And you want the key
To find a way to
Hear what's in me

It's all locked up
All locked up
It's all locked up
All locked up
You'll never get in
You'll never get in

The room in my head
A museum
With framed pictures of you
A mausoleum

It's all locked up
All locked up
It's all locked up
All locked up
And you'll never get out
No you'll never get out

The room in my head
Like the bottom of the sea.
Everything that's sunk and lost
Is swimming in me
It's all washed up all washed up
It's all washed up all washed up

And I cannot even swim
You'll never get in
No you'll never get in
