A positive, upbeat single about feeling the joys of life and wanting to live in the moment, One of those rare easy writes which just come to you once in a blue moon if you're lucky! A full on in your face sound with guitar heroics from Craig, and some smooth harmonies from Gem. Taken from the upcoming album 'Anyone To Anywhere'
lyrics
There’s no cloud of grey in the sky today,
Do I pray for rain, or just keep my pain?
As you called my name, as you turned to say,
That I’d make your day if I’d only stay
I caught the sound, the word, the light,
But I just can’t speak, I fill with fright.
There’s much I need to say, to do
To get my feelings through.
Oh if I fall before I fly.
If my wings get clipped, if my feet get tripped,
If fall to the floor and I die;
Be the magic kiss, be the state of bliss,
Be the tidal shift that makes me lift,
Be the words I breathe, be the light I see,
Bring me back to, back to, back to, back to life.
When your bright eyes smile, when you show your style
I’m just rank and file but I stand amazed.
Is this all there is, would a blessed kiss
Make me feel enriched or lost within?
I’ve got to be much more than this,
Than day to day repeat exist,
There’s less I am than you believe
But still I live in hope.
Oh if I fall before I fly.
If my wings get clipped, if my feet get tripped,
If fall to the floor and I die;
Be the magic kiss, be the state of bliss,
Be the tidal shift that makes me lift,
Be the words I breathe, be the light I see,
Bring me back to, back to, back to, back to life.
