the performance of a lifetime - the granite shore lyrics

Loading...

such noises off… is that a drummer drawing near? they must keep moving just to stay alive, i hear – or was that sharks…? – still, i want it to be clear: i was always lucid

what news from england? are they happy now they’re free… and do you think that they might send for me to come and claim the throne? if you look out you can see election lights are burning

i felt the spite as we hung on my chords, but god we were tight when we trod the boards. the performance of a lifetime every single night

this was the one place there was never any fear, nothing stupid could ever happen here; they have such sense, and they hold it all so dear… how you must be laughing

now there is little that i can recognise; i see us waving, through other peoples’ eyes. oh, they seem so bitter, saying their goodbyes, and who can rightly blame them?

and they will call me a hypocrite and slave, but after all i came and i gave the performance of a lifetime every single night

they’ll make it seem i was crippled and weak, but i was a dream, up there at my peak; the performance of a lifetime [every single night], i delivered [every single night], i gave a performance [every single night]; no matter what it cost

we will sing you sweetly to your rest;
beyond all noise, beyond all violence
we will sing you sweetly to your rest;
and – as you know – the rest is silence

the vault is open, here i’ll lie in stone; though none lie beside me, i shall not rest alone. so mourn me for a while, i was only flesh and bone. mourn me for a while, it behoves you all to moan

what survives is love
