Elbow - Whisper Grass Lyrics

a frieze of you
is with me now
a frieze of you
with knitted brow
a frieze of you
asking how i could

a fury climb
to prove myself
a fury climb
to a whisper grass shelf
with god above
and not much else

the air gets thin
i came down
gave in i

the game i'm in i'll win
and lose the simple love
you gave to me
on quiet days
a frieze of you

granite cold
detached and granite cold
i stood
came down
gave in
