Barricades of Heaven Lyrics by Charlie Simpson

Little Hands

0

Running down around the towns along the shore
When  I was sixteen and on my own
No,  I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for
I was just trying to hear my song
Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar
We'd  all get in the van and play
Life  became the Paradox, the Bear, the Rouge et Noir
And the stretch of road running to L.A
Pages  turning
Pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To  the barricades of Heaven where I'm from
All the world was shining from those hills
The stars above and the lights below
Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills
I lost track of the score long ago
Pages turning
Pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from
Childhood comes for me at night
Voices of my friends
Your face bathing me in light
Hope that never ends
Pages turning
Pages torn and pages burning
Faded pages, open in the sun
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from
Better bring your own redemption when you come
To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from
