“Set The Fire To The Third Bar”
(feat. Martha Wainwright)
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you’d be
It’s only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I’d find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I’ve found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
We’d set the fire to the third bar
We’d share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can’t keep in
I’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
~Snow Patrol
good to see you are coming back to your roots. (snow patrol a good belfast band) actually playing here tonight
they are also headlining tennents vital (music thingy) here in the summer, i have to go. Its not fair they put the name of a drink in the title and i cant stay away.
i was discussing the album with my co-worker… ‘chasing cars’ is the ‘run’ of the new album and ‘open your eyes’ is the new ‘chocolate’. nevertheless, it’s really awesome and i CANT WAIT for the show… given that it’s snow patrol AND at the best venue in vancouver… it should be great!
