Paolo Nutini - Tricks Of The Trade lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Was it love or recognition that has<br>

Healed this man's condition<br>

I'm hoping and I'm wishing that<br>

This bird won't fly away<br>

We can see life hand in hand,<br>

The green, the blue, the rough, the sand<br>

And in our time and in our land<br>

We'll savor everyday<br>

<br>

And oh, how our glory may fade,<br>

At least we've learned<br>

Some things along the way<br>

<br>

You took me from my bubble<br>

Knowing my defense was weak<br>

And you sat there and you listened<br>

Any time I chose to speak<br>

You gathered from my pleas to<br>

You that I am but a clown<br>

And I fear only a hero can defeat<br>

These demons now<br>

<br>

And oh, how our glory may fade,<br>

At least we've learned some<br>

Tricks of trade<br>

<br>

And as time shall inevitably move on,<br>

Oh well, at least we'll have four strong<br>

Legs to stand on<br>

To keep us alive...<br>

<BR><BR>
