lyrics

You do not know me
I’m writing from England
A piece of your body they carved up and gave a name to
’Cause that’s what people do

I fell asleep with my head on your chest
I was dreaming of rhythms and patterns in a world without walls
’Cause that’s what dreaming’s for

Give me strength
See me through
The very best of them and the worst of you
I pray that you don’t go away
That you don’t go away

You will now see in the rising of embers
The piece of your ego that you have long struggled to tame
And now it falls like rain

I will drink your mystery down Till I can’t stay on my feet
Would you catch me if I fell or would you watch me returned to smithereens?

Give me strength
See me through
The very best of them and the worst of you
Give us hope
A glimmer of light
An oil lantern on our darkest night

Give us grace
No surprise that all of these notions only dwell in our own minds
’Cause that’s what we’re gonna need
At times when it’s hard to breathe
The beauty we barely see in the light of the day
The wonder your chorus sings
The beating of tiny little wings
And the comfort that chaos can bring when we’ve lost our way

Give me strength
See me through
The very best of them and the worst of you
Give us hope
A glimmer of light
An oil lantern on our
darkest night
I pray that you don’t go away

Luke James Williams England, UK

Light and dark, ugly and beautiful, happy and sad, fearful and brave, the music of singer songwriter Luke James Williams reflects the opposing forces and wonderful chaos of the world around us. Combining the raw power of PJ Harvey with the delicate sensitivity of Sufjan Stevens, Williams paints pictures with words and sings them in his own distinctly British voice. ... more
