Artist: Powderfinger Album: Odyssey Number Five (2000) Title: The Metre
Lyrics The MetreBlow the candles out
Raise a glass to the night
Let all the tension out
You've been wound up so tight
It's a tender trap
To plan ahead all the time
If you measure the world
By what you leave behind
Welcome to the saving grace
(welcome to the saving grace)
Welcome to the saving grace
(welcome to the saving grace)
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
Keep the glass topped up
It's not over just yet
Pull off the social bluff
Celebrate your success
Turn the sunlight out
Find a place in the shade
If you measure the world
By the mark that you make
Welcome to the saving grace
(welcome to the saving grace)
Welcome to the saving grace
(welcome to the saving grace)
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
If you measure the world
By what you leave behind
Welcome to the saving grace
(welcome to the saving grace)
Welcome to the saving grace
(welcome to the saving grace)
There's a sunset on the road
Reappearing as we go
Reappearing as we go
Reappearing as we go
There's a sunset on the road
Welcome to the saving grace |
