The Only Ones Lyrics by David Gray

Dear Life

2025

[Verse 1]
\nThrough the doorway in my head
\nVoice of morning called
\nI followed where it lead
\nI swore the oath and, and so was wed
\nTo the only ones
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI traded in my disbelief
\nStood with multitudes
\nAnd broke the bread of grief
\nRode the thermals, I swam the reef
\nWith the only ones
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nScarecrows pulling at their stuffing
\nSeeing something where there's nothing
\nCourt arise
\nTry to throw it, it ain't sticking
\nNerves are frying up like chicken
\nPut the wool back over our еyes
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nGreat cathedral bеll, it rang
\nDraped a jeweled cloth upon the bloodied fang
\nI shut my eyelids tight and sang
\nFor the only ones
\nThe only ones
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nScarecrows pulling at their stuffing
\nSeeing something where there's nothing
\nCourt arise
\nTry to throw it, it ain't sticking
\nNerves are frying up like chicken
\nPut the wool back over our eyes
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nMighty headlands, colored rose
\nFellow creatures breaking cover to disclose
\nTime's blood is poetry, never prose
\nSo say the only ones
\n
\n[Verse 5]
\nAt the edge of what is not
\nI turn the camera 'round and take a final shot
\nOf home sweet home, yeah, this pale blue dot
\nThe only ones
\n
\n[Outro]
\nThe only ones
\nThe only ones
\nThe only ones
\nThe only ones
\nThe only ones\n\n
