Passionate Friend (Recorded for Marc Riley BBC Radio 6Music) Songtext
von Meilyr Jones

(3, 2, 1)

Sometimes, I am with the witches
On fire, fast and ruined
Sometimes, all around
With the honey in me, I quicken

Sometimes, I am with the witches
On fire, fast and ruined
Sometimes, all around
With the honey in me, I quicken

I met you on a windy day
Rain in your hair, touch your eyes to play
Is it in me? Is it all above?
Am I trying too hard, are you here?
Higher, oh
Higher
Higher
Higher


Walked there, where we were
Nobody with me
Is it a sign, is it a way?
Am I in my mind, what do you say?
Higher
Oh! Higher
Higher
Higher

What is this thing, this thing?
To which my body clings
The sinking of the world
And I am of my word
A passionate friend

Oh...!

Holiness is a far cry
And I′ll sing it again, and again
Do you see me as I was?
Lying in the blue with the blue above
Do I relive what I can't repeat?
Tender, tender, looking so gently
Lovers live in memories
Past illusions, never to repeat it

Higher, higher


I feel it in
Oh heaven now
(?)
Or really simply, anyway
Sighing in the blue
Do you feel me?
Ooh!
Higher
Higher

What is this thing, this thing?
To which my darkness clings
The sinking of the world
And I am of my word
A passionate friend
Will this never end?
A passionate friend
And all I′ve waited
Waiting for you
