Sensations In The Dark - Gruff Rhys

Sensation In The Dark

Once upon a time I took to melody and drank it every night

A dedicated pacifist;

No fistfights, no antagonistic knocking out lights

Sensations in the dark

A century of shadows lifted upwards

And discarded to thin air

Now I could speak my mind to others' mothers

Without blushing up to my curly hair

Sensations in the dark

And with a bright air of madness and flair

You introduced me to great new ideas

So you did, so you did, that’s right

Well little, little by little we were pulled apart

By forced come to play

Well colour, colour, colour coded I was designated

Emigrated out of your way

Though we were pulled apart

The memories outlast

Adventures in the past

Sensations in the dark
