Singer-songwriter shares lead cut and confirms huge run of 2026 and 2027 shows.
Lyrics
When I saw the leadlight, fall from the pane I didn't know that the grass, was not only greener Upkeep is cheaper, when you embrace the rain So I jumped down and lay with my leadlight And under your spotlight, I lay with the shards And I didn't know that the ground, was not only harder Oh but colder when you are not around
I love you my darling, I do But I can't let possession make a fool of you I love you my darling, I do But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through
So I ran with dreams to reach the skyline And straight up that incline, I ran towards the blue And I didn't know that the sky, is not only wider Oh but clearer when I'm standing next to you
I love you my darling, I do But I can't let possession make a fool of you I love you my darling, I do But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through
Oh I believe in trust you see But don't you go and put your trust in me I cost more than you earn So tell me boy why didn't you ever learn?
I love you my darling, I do But I can't let possession make a fool of you I love you my darling, I do But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through
