Verse 1
Am 
Our
winters died in my old room,
G 
I'd lie awake to watch the
Am 
bloom spread out
G 
across the gardens.
Am 
The silent buzz of empty streets
G 
And rooftop snow from window seats
Am 
Forbidden hearts that
G 
cannot sleep to ponder
Am 
Oh, I was painted a picture
without the words
G 
Of simple colours and secret worlds
Am 
And I was cast in my mind
G 
behind the rooftops
Am 
I'll get it hooked on the shadows
looking through the lens
G 
To trace the patterns
with felt -tip pens
Am 
Cos I grew up  with the sound
G 
Am 
G 
of England sleeping
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
Am 
The damp would run down the windowsill
G 
And through the glass I'd feel a chill
Am 
G 
And look how long I was waiting
Am 
In darkened rooms I'd cut my teeth
G 
All morbid thoughts around beneath
Am 
G 
Those linen sheets, a rattle on my window
Am 
I was painting a picture without the words
G 
Of simple colours and secret worlds
Am 
And I was casting my mind
G 
behind the rooftops
Am 
Getting hooked on the shadows
looking through the vents
G 
To trace the patterns
with felt -tip pens
Am 
Cos I grew up  with the sound
G 
Am 
G 
of England sleeping
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
I'd lie awake to watch the
Am 
things spread out
G 
Spread out
Am 
G 
I'd lie awake to watch the
Am 
blue become this time
