[00:01.83]	You propel yourself into the arms of god
[00:07.02]	and christ and all the angels
[00:09.27]	Now you’re high above the people
[00:12.65]	who you used to call your equals
[00:16.27]	I will stay behind and live this life
[00:20.96]	You left me as a witness
[00:22.77]	who can tidy up your business
[00:26.27]	and record that someone lived here
[00:31.58]	in the shade of Trellick Tower
[00:34.33]	in those days of living gently
[00:37.52]	something holy used to love me
[00:40.33]	something holy used to touch me
[00:44.21]	Then he heard the voice I couldn’t hear
[00:48.90]	he’s gone to where it’s sent him
[00:54.16]	And now I’m praying for this pain to clear
[00:59.47]	he’s waiting on ascension
[01:03.97]	And now I’m praying but there’s still no change
[01:13.22]	You’re high as Trellick Tower
[01:16.04]	throw your head and when you let me spend
[01:19.54]	my life trying to climb you
[01:23.54]	and praying till my knees don’t fold
[01:27.32]	praying till my hands don’t close
[01:30.76]	praying till my fingers glow
[01:42.63]
[01:45.89]	And you’ve propelled yourself into the arms of god
[01:51.38]	and christ and all the saints
[01:54.32]	now I’ve been walking through our house
[01:56.69]	like separation made it sacred
[02:00.39]	I’ve been buried in the books you left
[02:05.34]	I treat them like they’re ancient
[02:09.59]	and I think relics’ ache for when the saint had breath
[02:16.21]	They miss the thing that changed them
[02:24.34]	And I’m a relic and you’re so so high
[02:29.71]	You’re high as Trellick Tower
[02:32.40]	throw your head and when you let me spend
[02:36.09]	my life trying to climb you
[02:39.21]	and praying till my knees don’t fold
[02:43.77]	praying till my hands don’t close
[02:47.21]	praying till my fingers glow
[02:55.65]	And in the shade of Trellick Tower
[03:00.03]	I spent a while trying to keep you
[03:03.21]	tell all the people moving on, “hey
[03:06.90]	something holy used to live here”
[03:09.96]	now I’m a relic of a love gone by
[03:15.21]	kneeling to address the sky
[03:20.02]	and I’ll keep praying till the binds untie
[03:23.09]
[03:25.66]	praying but I don’t know why
[03:29.10]	and I’ll keep praying till the binds untie
[03:34.66]	praying but I don’t know why
[03:44.41]	oh I’ll pray until the language dies
[03:50.04]	praying ‘cause you’re so so high
[03:54.79]	can I spend my life trying to climb you?

[00:01.83]	You propel yourself into the arms of god
