Verse 1
On a radio show, a night so late
Teacher's words he didn't inspire
But he heard some truth in
the wood and the wire
In a high street window
he'd winked and beckoned
Turned his head in a single
second
First month's wage, heart's desire
D
G
Under the spell of the wood and the wire
claim a man
C
G
Dreams in his fingers, fire in his hands
Louder than laughter,
brighter than fire
Promise lives in the wood and
F
G
the fire
Every night through the bedroom door
Every hot dog's favorite score
Singing to his only one
All the songs I've ever sung
Soaking it up like it was smelt, every note with every lilt,
even the mirror no longer a liar.
All his moves in the wood
and the wire.
Blood and laughter brighter than fire.
The promise that lives in the wood
F
G
and the water
C

C
G
Wings turn round, years go by
those cracks
Tears he sheds with words he lacks
Head won't rise from the mire
But it all makes sense with
the wood and the wire
cuts through walls
C
G
Hope to the lonely, sense to the fools
Roger, the stranger, the treachery, the liar
He got the means with the wood and the wire

Verse 2
G
sense to the fools
Haughty to the stranger, cheap to the liar
Well, you got who means with
the wood and the wire
Louder than thunder, brighter than fire
Thomas that lives in the wood and the wire
