Patrick Wolf - Penzance lyrics

rate me

In a time of loneliness

I fell into your strong open arms

And in those arms you loved me well

You hid me in your calm

And in that calm we headed south

Knowing nothing of my demons

There were devils in the winds that night

Walking fire among the hills

And many voices called me out to the cliffs

But you held me safe, you wrestled me still

Wiping the black blood from my mouth

Speeding into nowhere

It starts in Penzance, where the winds are born

And follows the track of this train

And just like this love coming back for you

It will come back for me again

"What a beautiful town", I shouted out

Oh, but what a terrifying view

You know I wrestled with my bruised hours

Just to lie there next to you

Deep in the dark heart of the south

Speeding into nowhere

My love, come stop me

I am haunted and possessed

And with my darkest hour yet to come

It's only you, only you can stop me

Come back to Penzance, where the winds are born

Just follow the tracks of this trains

And just like this love calling out for you

It is calling me out again

So come, stop me

Only you can stop me, stop me, now
