[verse] Looking for answers in puddles and rain Empty cans floating past gutters and drains Scrumpled up scratch cards and cigarette butts City of Sodom, washed clean in the flood [chorus] So I hold you tight like a life raft Turn my back on the spray and the foam I tell you that you calm the storm within You tell me I smell like home [verse] Feverish morning our little boy wakes Droplets of sweat on his brow, his head aches Paracetamol holds back the tide of his pain But the storm clouds stack up, all leaden grey [chorus] And I hold you tight like a life raft Turn my back on the spray and the foam I tell you that you calm the storm within You tell me I smell like home [verse] Sometimes it feels like I’ve swum out too far And I won’t make it back to the shore Salt stings my eyes, just a matter of time Till I can’t tread this water no more [instrumental] [outro] But you hold me tight like a life raft Shield me from the spray and the foam I tell you that you calm the storm within You tell me I smell like home. [end]
