Faith To Arise Lyrics - Terry Reid

Can you hear what I've been thinking 

Do you hear my words out loud 

Cause there's an echo that's insisting 

That this here phone should ring about now 

But when it does, it rings, no questions 

Then when it don't, I wonder why 

Maybe I'm somewhere you can't reach me 

On this dark and lonely night 

But then, ooh, what a faith to arise, yeah 

Feel that look in your eyes 

You know a good thing could be bringing 

At a time and place in your mind 

You may need the laughter to hang on 

To feel what it is that's alive 

Well you know that it's only one more day 

That I'm going to be this far away 

And now I'm sitting here on this phone 

I've run out of things to say 

Except it's gonna feel good just to get back home 

How it's gonna feel good just to get back home 

I've been out here stretching on my own 

Oh, it's gonna feel good just to get back home 

I take a plane out in the morning 

It puts me in tomorrow night 

I got something I've been saving 

For the hours that I lose in this flight 

There's a beauty about London 

Though the rain's still falling down 

It only makes me think of waking to the night 

Way the brakes could shake a ground 

But then, ooh, what a faith to arise, yeah 

See that look in your eyes 

You know we'll be thinking of just singing about it 

Time and place in your mind 

Your sun and your laughter growing on 

To be what it is that's alive 

You know that time she's a pageant of everyday 

Oh what it is no one here can say 

Just hanging here in the sky 

With the curve of the earth in the night 

Fatally seeing the return as being a reflection in your eye 

That's how it's gonna feel good just to get back home 

Ooh it's gonna feel good just to get back home 

I've been out here stretching on my own 

And now it's gonna feel good just to get back home
