[Intro]

[Verse 1]
                                         
Stevie said now don't look round they're watching us
                               
Two girls in the corner of that dodgy club
                                      
And the grey eyes, the storm that I've come to know and wish for

Before I caught a breath
              
Well she was standing there
                                      
We walked the streets of our town just talking
                                                
And the dawn broke grey and freezing through the deserted blocks
                                        
Just when your life is stale and there's reason there for everything
                              
Something comes to kick you up inside


[Chorus]
                       
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home
                                    
A hundred thousands miles through this battle zone
                                    
Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness
                  
Trying not to look down...


[Verse 2]
No Rest for the wicked is still how it goes
Twisted up and turning my bed alone
And separation pains like a blunted amputation
Pushing endless coms in the telephone

[Chorus]
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home...

[Special]
   
So rest
                       
 In these open arms and cry
                        
 Until they come for you and tell
                                  
 And tell me everything that you've ever felt
                       
 Tell me everything you want to see

[Bridge]
|:    :|

[Verse 3]
Forever running even when we are standing still
Driven on and fired up as the whirlwinds blow
And shouting out inside
I'm proud of you, I'm proud of you
Ten thousand footsteps echo down the Brixton Road

[Chorus]
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home...
