[Verse 1] The grey makes you sick Colour of things gone Stretched out like a shadow Stretched out like a shadow
The bed holds your shape Tempts you back to Stretched out like your shadow Stretched out like your shadow
[Chorus] Come away from the window I'm afraid of what you'll see Leave what the future holds to be Happy holding me Come away from the window I'm afraid of what you'll see Leave what the future holds to be Happy holding me
[Verse 2] The night holds his scent It tempts you back to Stretched out like his shadow Stretched out like his shadow Not afraid of the dark But of things I do not see Stretched out in his shadow Stretched out in his shadow
[Chorus] Come away from the window I'm afraid of what you'll see Leave what the future holds to be Happy holding me Come away from the window I'm afraid of what you'll see Leave what the future holds to be Happy holding me
[Verse 3/Outro] When I grow old I'll go back to the sea Ten thousand watery hands rise to greet me The water, carry my way to windswept arms The constant friend, carry on On Carry on
