![]() The Lucky Few (1999) [ larger cover art ] |
Out from, out from the paper bag
Into the safe and warm again
Long time since I have felt the sun,
Since I went singing in the rain
Autumn, it is my interview,
It`s when I ask just how things are
Changing, the colours of today.
Like you and I have changed for sure
CHORUS:
I've missed the way you smile
Your tales of fame and fortune
Walk a minute and we'll walk a mile
We can really tell the future
One look shows a hundred words, rather you to see
Than me to show the charms I still hold dear
And all the things that hold me to you
Now that I hold you in my arms
It strangely feels like nothing's changed
Found some, I found some love today
More than I thought could be allowed.
Into the safe and warm again
Long time since I have felt the sun,
Since I went singing in the rain
Autumn, it is my interview,
It`s when I ask just how things are
Changing, the colours of today.

CHORUS:
I've missed the way you smile
Your tales of fame and fortune
Walk a minute and we'll walk a mile
We can really tell the future

Than me to show the charms I still hold dear
And all the things that hold me to you
Now that I hold you in my arms
It strangely feels like nothing's changed
Found some, I found some love today
More than I thought could be allowed.

| blueuk808 (Manchester, UK) | Posted: Sep 18, 2006 - 13:47 Why have I not heard of these before? Have them washed and sent to my room! |
| luminousjune (Chicago, IL) | Posted: May 24, 2006 - 12:21 a little too bubblegum for me after "Let Go"...kind of wound up, IMO. I don't know. Just seemed like an odd transition. Not doing too much for me, but not terrible. |

| AlanCE (Des Moines, IA) | Posted: Mar 12, 2006 - 18:37 I like that in a 7 or 8 sort of way until the closing minute or so then it drops a few points. |
| BKardon (Boulder, CO) | Posted: Nov 15, 2005 - 20:26 I've never heard anything by this band before but I really like this. Perhaps someone could upload some more tunes? |
