Story Behind The Song

my girlfriend wrote it for me

Song Description

what a woman does for a man without him ever really realizing it

Lyrics

she loves me like half light
a little warm yellow
a soft sun persuading
my sweet earth to grow

she shines without brightness
makes me see through the dark
with a beckoning kindness
i can feel my way through

oh to you

cos i've been on knees
been on my knees
somebody please
can you see
to much time in the mud

cos I've been on my knees
been on my knees
somebody please can you see
to much time in the mud
playing with blood

she sees right through me
all the bluster and pride
gets blown by the tide
I got nothing to hide
she takes me as I am
the unedited version
all the ties and my lies
god she taught me to fly

to the sky

cos I've been on knees
been on my knees
somebody please can you see
to much time in the mud
cos I'm up from the floor
straight as before
somebody please can you see
i'm back no matter what
feel it in my gut

and all the things I could do wrong I did
and all the things left twisting in the wind
all the tears for my pride

she loves me like half light
her love is a glow
takes me back white as snow
to the sweet earth to grow
