The Light Before We Land - The Delgados

In cases such as these I’d like a hand

Don’t wake me up without a master plan

With sight and sound becoming fragile

Don’t you understand?

When things that once were beautiful

Are bland

And when I feel like I can feel once again

Let me stay awhile

Soak it in awhile

If you can hold on we can fix what is wrong

Buy a little time

For this head of mine

Haven for all of us In truth there is no better place to be Than falling out of darkness still to see

Without a premonition

Could you tell me where we stand?

I’d hate to lose this light

Before we land

And when I feel like I can feel once again

Let me stay awhile

Soak it in awhile

If you can hold on we can fix what is wrong

Buy a little time

For this head of mine

Haven for all of us Before we let euphoria

Convince us we are free

Remind us how we used to feel

Before when life was real

And when I feel like I can feel once again

Let me stay awhile

Soak it in awhile

If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong

Buy a little time

For this head of mine

Heaven for all of us…
