Graham Coxon
Standing Still
[Verse 1: Graham Coxon, Rose Elinor Dougall, both]
So you came from autumn
Sail across the dance floor
Wooden boards and leather
Staring straight ahead
When I first laid my eyes on you
I knew something would change
That we were fated

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes and see you
Before the open fire (Meets me on up 'round the hill)
There we are, and dancing (I’ll be there at midnight)
In a slow silence (Soft and still)

[Pre-Chorus]
(Standing still) Stage was the perfect winter
(Standing still) The low-lying sun blinded me
(Still) Then you were gone

[Chorus]
My lows and highs
Beneath the sheltering sky
As you leave me wise
To love within a lie
Falling now
Don't move down
[Verse 3]
Is there no way home?
And with your softness light
Sorrow now you flown
To the reddened sky
I'm standing still
Standing still
Still

[Chorus]
My lows and highs
Beneath the sheltering sky
As you leave me wise
[?] to love within a lie
Falling now
Don’t move down
