Cloud Nine Lyrics by Ben Howard

These Waters EP

2009

Shadows on the water
From a memory that turns inside
From the last time I saw you happier
Than I've seen you in a long time

And all these faces, oh how they adore you
With every blessing, every strength of the storm
And it seems to me it all worked out so different
Funny how distance and time they don't change at all

So may your worries, may your worries
Never fall too loud
And may you stay here, may you stay here
Happy in your own skin
On the ninth cloud

Cold to every warning
Oh these ships that passed through, years before
And bolder now, than a brand new morning
With the sun on your face, the bruise and the breaks of these careless arms

So hold your body, hold your body
Strong in these winds that blind
May I find you, may we sit together when we're grey and old
On cloud nine

This life will move you with every step outside
It's alright, it's alright
My arms are open wide for you
This life will move you as graceful as the tide
It's alright, it's alright
Loosen the fears that bind you
Loosen the fears that bind you
