[00:23.000]The city’s calling
[00:26.507]The city’s calling me home
[00:30.056]The lines and creases around my eyes, oh how they have grown
[00:37.148]I’m singing stories about the twenty-odd years before the fall
[00:45.176]
[00:47.886]And looking back I see they’re the happiest times of all
[00:52.052]I’ll be there through fading colours
[00:55.323]I’ll be there to brighten up your darkest day
[00:59.432]I’ll be there when you run for cover and I’ll carry you home now
[01:03.822]I’ll carry you home now
[01:06.281]I’ll be there in your golden summers
[01:09.436]I’ll be there when you’re bending and you’re ready to break
[01:16.419]So take a chance on me now and I’ll always be your powerplay
[01:20.9821]
[01:23.253]I’ve heard a silence
[01:26.931]I’ve heard a silence cut through
[01:30.574]Between opinions that left me broken and bruised
[01:37.480]We stole the shadows and then we danced in the dark upon the shore
[01:45.809]
[01:48.164]Now looking back I see no one ever could love me more
[01:52.185]
[01:52.806]I’ll be there through fading colours
[01:55.483]I’ll be there to brighten up your darkest day
[01:59.723]I’ll be there when you run for cover and I’ll carry you home now
[02:04.658]I’ll carry you home now
[02:06.910]I’ll be there in your golden summers
[02:10.709]I’ll be there when you’re bending and you’re ready to break
[02:16.804]So take a chance on me now and I’ll always be your powerplay
[02:20.981]
[02:26.110]I’ll always be your power play
[02:28.145]
[02:35.720]Tide turns with the worst of weathers
[02:39.082]Fire burns but the smoke, it fills your walls
[02:42.782]Be there to get your things together
[02:45.927]And be the parachute, the parachute to stop your fall
[02:49.922]Tide turns with the worst of weathers
[02:53.407]Fire burns and smoke, it fills your walls
[02:59.757]Now the past don’t mean a thing to us anymore
[03:03.674]
[03:03.992]I’ll be there through fading colours
[03:06.716]I’ll be there to brighten up your darkest day
[03:10.967]I’ll be there when you run for cover and I’ll carry you home now
[03:15.965]I’ll carry you home now
[03:18.023]I’ll be there in your golden summers
[03:21.545]I’ll be there when you’re bending and you’re ready to break
[03:27.637]So take a chance on me now and I’ll always be your powerplay
