Show Me the Sun - Belle & Sebastian

What do you want of me?

What do you want of me?

I am hiding in the city dressed in rags

Walking in the dead of night

Looking for an answer

(Answer me)

I have said

I believe

That my greatest friend the gift of song is here

The gift is not enough tonight, I fear

I breathe, slowly-slowly, what do I believe?

Is it strong enough?

Let me love, show me the sun

Cos my mind is moving at the speed of light

I know you placed the jewel of your heart

In the middle of us all to fight it out

And we do it

We’re waking up to that, believe

And you will be saved

Wicked you, wicked me

We are lost amongst

The dreaming fields of pain

Praying on our ever-bended knees

That you dip your cooling finger in the well

And you touch us

I want to be with Lazarus

I’m on the side of the weak

(Side of the weak)

(Side of the weak)

What I choose to do with my time is a gift

I threw in your face

A hangover of youth

But the plain bloody truth —

You suffer a while

Before ladders of gold set you free

So I called

Broke the seal

Broke the faith of every deal I ever made

Did the obvious, the weakest thing I could

Ran to mother, ran to beauty, ran to you

Let me foster my intentions to be wise

And to love you
