    In the line up it is THE perfect last song actually.
    The actual last words of the album are:

    My only love
    Sleep well
    Goodnight

    Based on the live video can you all help me complete the lyrics for Clay?

    Words sing
    Out into the wind
    Their meaning
    Taken By Time

    Your deep sea eyes
    Ancient Stars

    We wanted
    Only to love
    I will not find you again
    Fate Or Chance (?)

    A beauty 
    in uncertainty
    We fall down
    On grey wet sand
    Our shadows reframe
    Memories

    We were only too love (?)
    Only to long (?)
    And breathe again (?)
    You (?)
    (?)
    (?)
    (?)

    Oh.
    Yellow angry waves of grass
    The iron sky
    Turning in the looking glass

    Your deep sea eyes
    Ancient Stars

    You were wonderful life
    My only love
    Sleep Well
    Goonight

    Thanks for this, Stranger. The line "yellow angry waves of grass" has made me go cold. Not only does the house from the Drew video come straight from my most memorable dream (it's identical) but the house was surrounded by yellow cellophane grass, which waved violently in the wind. I was shouting to my friends but the wind blew my voice away. The only thing missing is a cliff which turns out to be a giant baroque fireplace... :-O

    Yeeeah, go ahead, let's do a proper fantasy casting...



    Me and Cervus

    Hmmm...


    Thank goodness for that, you have seen me in front of a camera. Acting was never my strong point, used to get way to nervous on stage.

    Oh, this would be acting?
    If I were dead, could I do this?

    No it would not be as I cannot act for toffee..If we were to recreate the actual scenario I am guessing that I would have to draw from real life experiences.
