Craig armstrong stay (faraway, so close) lyrics

Green light, Seven Eleven 

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes 

You don't smoke, don't even want to 

I see you check your change 

Dressed up like a car crash 

The wheels are turning byt you're upside down 

You say when he hits you, you don't mind 

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive 

Is that what it is? 



Red lights, grey morning 

You stumble out of a hole in the ground 

A vampire or a victim 

It depend's on who's around 

You used to stay in to watch the adverts 

You could lip synch to the talk shows 



And if you look, you look through me 

And if you talk it's not to me 

And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing 



If I could stay... then the night would give you up 

Stay, and the day would keep its trust 

Stay, and the night would be enough 



Faraway, so close 

Up with the static and the radio 

With satelite television 

You can go anywhere 

Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin 



And if you listen I can't call 

And if you jump, you just might fall 

And if you shout I'll only hear you 



If I could stay... then the night would give you up 

Stay then the day would keep its trust 

Stay with the demons you drowned 

Stay with the spirit I found 

Stay and the night would be enough 



Three o'clock in the morning 

It's quiet and there's no one around 

Just the bang and the clatter 

As an angel runs to ground 

Just the bang and the clatter 

As an angel hits the ground
