Back To The One

Words and music by roddy frame



Swore i saw my true reflection

In the city lights at midnight

Fragments of a life led searching

Settle in a mess of colour

The hills at dawn with your cool dark daughter

Gazing down on the glittering water

Got a feeling that your favourite son

Must've known stone loneliness

I see the sea's horizon

Bend and sympathise with the blue sky



Sun burst and shatter

Throw your light across the square

Be my guide and take me there

Back to the one

Shadows scatter

Place towers at my feet

Lead me down through every street

Back to the one



Rise and toast the devil in you

Feel him catch his stride with angels

Chatterin' rails and cracklin' wires

Coast to coast deliver love and war

Honey from the bay of plenty

Soothes the northern voice of anger

Crashin' waves 'neath the flash of storm

Trash the skies and it must be love

I feel my soul's horizons

Stretch in sympathy with her smile



Sun burst and shatter

Throw your light across the square

Be my guide and take me there

Back to the one

Shadows scatter

Place towers at my feet

Lead me down through every street

Back to the one
