The Light Before We Land

The Light Before We Land - The Delgados

In cases such as just these

I'd like a hand

Don't wake me up

Without a master plan

With sand and sun 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 we can hold on

We can fix what is wrong

By a little time

For this head of mine

Heaven for 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 we can hold on

We can fix what is wrong

By a little time

For this head of mine

Heaven for us

Before we let euphoria

Convince us we are free

Remind us how we used to feel

Before when life was real

Aah aah aah

Ah ah ah aaahhh

Aah aah aah

Ah ah ah aaahhh

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

By a little time

For this head of mine

Heaven for us
