And if it rains all day, call on you, I'll call on you
Like I used to slide down beside and wrap you in stories
Tailored entirely for you I'll remind you
We exchanged a vow, I love you, I always will

    Blinking and stoned /Rain in your hair/ You only smoke, cause it's something to share Singing bring on the night /To have and to hold /The sodium light turning silver to gold .............I mean, Come. On?!? How does he do that? Brilliant.

    Surely this has to be Mr. Garveys finest moment? Sometimes I listen to this in disbelief. the lyrics are just so damn flawless. Talent talent talent.

    Definitely a highlight of Elbow's superlative Belsonic gig last night.

    I can't stop listening to it... Leaders of the free world is the Elbow album I like the least, but this song alone makes it a must-have.

    Sounds like Coldplay with much more depth and lyrical brilliance and talent and . . .

    Just when I think I have control of my emotions with this song, I hear it again and it again and it floors me. Heartbreakingly poignant lyrics.
