Ed Harcourt Bleed A River Deep Lyrics

Bleed A River Deep Lyrics

When the clock strikes dead on midnight 

books fly through the hall

All the lampshades turn and rotate

She walks through the wall



With hands in pockets I search for rockets

that might light up the sky

Have become more withdrawn since I was first born

But I never know why



I see my body float like leaves

Every day I want to breathe

Rap my knuckles 'til they bleed

A river deep



If I had sharp claws I'd get on all fours

and scratch your back for free

But it's been written, these nails are bitten

I know what I could be



I see my body float like leaves

Every day I want to breathe

Rap my knuckles 'til they bleed

A river deep
