Play Me Something

Roddy Woomble

Please play me something that begins where it ends,
And you seem so far away by night or by day.
Even I stand alone when there's truth in my way
Unless the air is full of prayers

And you lift up your voice to sing what I say
And there's always a truth, and there's always a new way
If you lift up your voice to sing what I say
We're all travelling our way through the world

Every proud name expected to stay
forever a portrait, forever in sunset
but children take over our longest days
on a darker night when we have to leave

And you lift up your voice to sing what I say
And there's always a truth, and there's always a new way
If you lift up your voice to sing what I say
We're all travelling our way through the world

And you lift up your voice to sing what I say
And there's always a truth, and there's always a new way
If you lift up your voice to sing what I say
We're all travelling our way through the world
