2.	Saint Bees 03:08	lyrics	buy track
Yeah all's become clear and calm Washed the last dark traces from our eyes Come on and take all you can hold I’ll take all that I can hide Keep open doors to your room We've saved our prayers now I send you my love I’d be a fool to lay down for one last time Now I’ve woken up I’d be a fool to stay tired Going walking out with you my baby by my side Cleared the clouds and found the sun hiding Got it's reflection catching on your eye One hand to pray and one to wave goodbye And one to hold you close Still waiting to be seen Still waiting to be told I send you my love I’d be a fool to lay down for one last time Now I’ve woken up I’d be a fool to stay tired Going walking out with you my baby by my side

4.	Easy 03:20	lyrics	buy track
My sweet boy why won't you stay To make our home, to keep this bed? This time I swear I tell the truth I’m too weak to lie You were my everything Now you're nothing that I need No nothing could keep me by your side Oh I know Oh I know Oh I know you think I’m easy Oh I know you think I.... But nothing could keep me here So take my love and add it to yours I want none from you, I can't hold back the truth This time I carry inside yours and mine You were my everything Now you're nothing that I need No nothing could keep me by your side Oh I know Oh I know Oh I know you think I’m easy Oh I know you think I.... But nothing could keep me here Take my love and add it to yours Oh I know....
5.	You Don't Know What I Know 04:53	lyrics	buy track
Oh my sweet, oh my sweet You fill my head with sugar You fill my heart with stone... You don't know what I know Salt water streams carry you away Oh hold close to me I’ll carry you away Oh my sweet, oh my sweet You fill my head with sugar You fill my heart with stone... You don't know what I know Lord you don't see what I see You don't know what I know Lord you don't see what I see You don't know what I know
6.	Rope Walking 02:55	lyrics	buy track
Dressed head to toe in borrowed clothes That serve as reminder of a million favours owed That babe we're still walking this rope Above a safety net of shared sheets and promises we'll survive But you know by the end of each night By morning's first light I’ll have been to hell I’ll have been to heaven Yeah And by the time you wake Come back to you again Lost all the action After learning every move For your sweet tooth I’m sugar coating every wound For your sound sleep I’m awake and I’m aware of keeping all the promises I can Of keeping you safe I'll have been to hell I’ll have been to heaven Yeah And by the time you wake Come back to you again ... back to you again Yeah yeah Back to you again...
7.	The Watch 03:35	lyrics	buy track
Spiders crawled across your face As you slept last night Didn't want to try to wake you In case you couldn't close your eyes again In case you'd lie awake too scared Still and stern I watch our home Watch each one come in All the night's stars, insects and ghosts They all came to say goodbye As you slept last night As you slept last night Doors slammed and windows smashed A thousand planes took to the sky As you slept last night As you slept last night
8.	Bound To Follow 02:20	lyrics	buy track
Bound for nowhere Still I’m bound to follow you Oh I know you may not care But it's not cos I care for you Just pieces of a past I took you diary To fill in the gaps With words I want to read Now every line I speak, I stole Everything I think, I think I don't know Lead me on oh honey please... Well you're not the one But you're the way I want And I’ll listen and I’ll learn every move No it's not love for you But it's you I love to turn turn to And I’ll read on Now every line I speak, I stole Everything I think, I think I don't know Lead me on oh honey please... Lead me on don't leave me be Lead me on oh honey please
9.	Tigers 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Every kiss you cut Each word you replaced All for good fortune's sake You played along as I left Come on baby who cares We’re hanging side by side You know you got yours and oh I know I got mine I’m through punching tigers Each bite marks how much of me Is now yours to keep You played along as I left Come on baby who cares We’re hanging side by side You know you got yours and oh I know I got mine Left to chance and we've been caught we've been kept You’re half alive and babe I’m happy half dead Your words won't let a man sleep Oh no they just won't let a man rest Your kiss returned All yours to keep

about

Debut album by The High Wire
Extended 9 track edition available for download on iTunes.

“… lusciously woozy affair, recalling the hazy, narcotic ballads of US dream-popsters Galaxie 500…potent stuff…” Q
" MBV - meets - Mercury Rev... gorgeous..." Uncut
“…a wistful dream of a record…” Clash
“Soft, Shoegazerish bliss…” Guardian
“…The High Wire’s debut is full of such glimmering, sun-kissed guitar pop that it’ll banish the blues in an instant.” NME
"The High Wire are lush, like Kissaway Trail hooked on Band of Horses or the gentler swoons of Mercury Rev." The Fly
