Hook, Line, Sinker Lyrics & Chords By Stornoway

Cycling home from the station after the heatwave and a week in the fast lane
The sun is down but the sky is soft and grey like a feather
Taste the cool air as I cross the Thames river, the water lies still and deep as a mirror
Casting reflections and catching a momentary picture
It won't be long til I'm with you, I feel you reeling me hook line sinker

Now the streetlights are flickering on, as I race them along to the home straight
And lock up my bike to the side gate, wondering what mood you are in
You let me in and you lock us in, you bite my lip and you say nothing
As we start upon a silent rediscovery
And now your fingers adjust me and tune me into the same shared frequency
And I take hold of your shoulders
And now there's nobody else and there's nothing else and we don't know ourselves
Because we just abandoned ourselves
And now our bodies are taking over our minds are drugged
By the racing blood thumping in our ears and our eyes and our tethered souls

Thrown in the back of a fast car, speeding over a shifting sandbar
With no way we can change our course, for this feeling we're hurtling towards
And its now!
And its now!
And its now!
And its now, and its now, and its now!

Now you raise your pupils skyward, the sodium clouds they move slow and silently
Over the open skylight and in to the twilight
And as our limbs begin untwining, the birds resume singing the clock starts chiming
And gravity grabs hold and pulls me back to earth
And I look at you next to me, with no fear and no insecurity
They disappeared with a certainty, that this feeling that courses through me is love
This is love!
This is love!
This is love!
This is love, this is love, this is love
This is love, this is love, this is love
​
Tune me, align yourself with me, take me in between the future and the past
Tune me, align yourself with me, take me in between the future and the past
Hold me, connect yourself with me, love me in between the future and the past
Hold me, connect yourself with me, love me in between the future and the past
