Penzance Lyrics - Patrick Wolf

In a time of loneliness 

I fell into your strong open arms 

And in those arms you loved me well 

You hid me in your calm 

And in that calm we headed south 

Knowing nothing of my demons 

There were devils in the winds that night 

Walking fire among the hills 

And many voices called me out to the cliffs 

But you held me safe, you wrestled me still 

Wiping the black blood from my mouth 

Speeding into nowhere 

It starts in Penzance, where the winds are born 

And follows the track of this train 

And just like this love coming back for you 

It will come back for me again 

"What a beautiful town", I shouted out 

Oh, but what a terrifying view 

You know I wrestled with my bruised hours 

Just to lie there next to you 

Deep in the dark heart of the south 

Speeding into nowhere 

My love, come stop me 

I am haunted and possessed 

And with my darkest hour yet to come 

It's only you, only you can stop me 

Come back to Penzance, where the winds are born 

Just follow the tracks of this trains 

And just like this love calling out for you 

It is calling me out again 

So come, stop me 

Only you can stop me, stop me, now
