Stray lyrics


Words and music by Roddy Frame
You don t have to tell me what you re still looking for,
Two arms to hold you and a voice to say,
"That s alright, you can spend the night",
Well, come around.
Cos I ve been there and these are the notes
From the overground,
The World Saxaphone Quartet, the smell of violets,
And a passing friend won t let you down.

Listen to the rhythm of the rain falling,
Say you re gonna change your foolish ways.
Make a promise, break a promise in the same day,
It goes the same way, anyway.
So you pray for silence and its sadness and its violence
To be washed away, One day.

I understand the state you ve reach of being unreachable,
Somewhere out there where only the music plays.
Loneliness and being alone don t always mean the same,
Who needs the movie? You can see the music anyway.
A Sketch For Winter, a Burgundy and sanctuary
Can make me stay when I feel that way.

And if my words don t say the things that they were meant to say,
And if confusion comes and carries all my words away,
And if you still don t understand,
I wanna hold your hand, and look at it this way...
Someone singing s better than the war they re winning
Winging its way, your way or my way,
Any day, any way, stray.
