Ben Howard Cloud Nine song lyrics

Shadows on the water

from a memory, in times and sight

and the last time I saw you happier

then not seein' you, not seein' you in a long while

All these faces, oh how they adore you

with every blessing, every strength of a storm

And it seems to me it all worked out so different

funny how distance and time, you don't change at all

So may your worries, may your worries never fall too loud

May you stay here, may you stay here

happy in your own skin, on the ninth cloud

Oh, to every warning

where these ships had passed through, years before

Bolder now, than a brand new morning

the sun on your face, the bruise and the breaks of these careless arms

So hold your body, hold your body strong in these winds of life

May I find you, may we sit together when we're gray and old, on cloud nine

This life'll move you with every step outside

it's alright, it's alright my arms are open wide for you

This life'll move you as graceful as a tide

oh it's alright it's alright, loosen the fears that bind you, loosen the fears that bind you
