Guitar - Elliot Hall @elhallmusic Piano - Charlie Rose Vocals, lyrics and music - Sarah Larkham @sarahlarkhamofficial LYRICS: We crept out of the rain Found a gateway into lover’s lane We turned the page and found ourselves in love No other living soul Could ever make me feel whole The way you did so effortlessly love If wishes were horses I would ride And I would pull you, I would pull you up behind You are my vital one You are my flame You keep me alive You keep my burning Through the black stars, the black stars Our chapter started young You with your coloured jacket on You kept me warm through winter’s nights and snow And I’ve never needed anyone since Like I needed you when I was a kid I owe you more than you could ever know If wishes were horses I would ride And I would never, I would never leave your side You are my sword and shield You are my needle You are my smoking gun You are my angel You make me vulnerable You make me strong Through all my dark days you were there In my prison cell, on my chair When I was thirsty, you were wine You rode your chariot through my mind My guiding star when I was blind When I was hungry When I was starving If wishes were horses I would ride And I would pull you up behind And I would never, ever, ever leave your side You are my wild wild love You are my heaven You’re my amphetamine You keep me blazing Through the black stars, the black stars, the black stars

CRAZY PAVING LYRICS There's a hole in this ship, and the water's coming in But you won't bail it, 'cos it's too hard living And you could plug it with your fingers, You could plug it by being kind But the mood you're in It's the last thing on your mind It's the last thing on your mind So we roll on the water, out on the dark ocean In the middle of the night Because you don't want to go home Ah you don't want to go home So let's go out tonight And watch the city lights But won't you hold my hand 'Cus I'm afraid of heights And you're just like crazy paving baby But I love the way you crack And when you're struggling And your scars are itching And you can't climb the stairs And you sleep on the floor I'll be there I'll open all the windows I'll let the moonlight shine in And I'll comb all the stars Through your tangled hair Through your tangled hair So let's go out tonight And watch the city lights But won't you hold my hand 'Cus I'm afraid of heights And you're just like crazy paving baby But I love the way you crack I'm your lily white girl And you are the captain Of this sinking ship With its holes and its stitching And the water might be boiling And the water might be cold But it's me and the captain To have and to hold To have and to hold So let's go out tonight And watch the city lights But won't you hold my hand 'Cus I'm afraid of heights And you're just like crazy paving baby But I love the way you crack Larkham and Hall are Elliot Hall and Sarah Larkham from Bristol visit *** http://www.larkhamandhall.co.uk *** Facebook *** http://www.facebook.com/larkhamandhallmusic *** or write to them at sarellmusic2016@gmail.com Sarah Larkham and Elliot Hall also run Mind Your Music music and mental health project.

LYRICS: I'm an old man, or I'm getting there My fading looks and my thinning hair But for this old racehorse there's a finishing line You know your youth when you've had your time So let loose my hand and turn away These things that matter to you will be gone someday Cos heaven's a place and it's far from here I'm coming home Mum don't shed a tear There's a line on the horizon Coming into view There's a man by your side and he's losing his grip on you I'm so sorry for the end Lover, my best friend Don't wave no palm leaves I don't want no fuss Don't need no poetry just the two of us Cos to see your face was the greatest joy A girl could give this mannish boy But there's a line on the horizon Coming into view And the rooster at dawn Tells me that the waiting hour is through There's nothing you can lend Lover, my best friend So take my heart it's black as coal Let dark meet light in your gentle soul Cos I'm nearly awake when I'm at your side But love's a coward in the face of pride There's a line on the horizon Coming into view I want you to know It was no reflection on you Each road has an end Lover, my best friend Filmed in and around the beautiful, vibrant, artistic and historical streets of Seville, España in January and February 2024. Finshing Line featuring Sarah Larkham vocals @sarahlarkhamofficial and Charile Rose on violin. Recorded at Bink Bink Studios Redland Bristol.
