What's crazy about this tune is that I didn't listen to it for a while...I assume it'd be this slow acoustic number from listening to the first few seconds.

 

Boy was I wrong.

 

I love the violin sounding piano...Or is that a violin?

 

Just a beautiful song all around.

I read in the new EZine that it was supposed to be a song that Johnny Cash was supposed to sing with Chris in (it says collaborated)...So It is in Honor of Johnny Cash I guess...

 

Here's the link: http://www.coldplay.com/content/ezine/documents/ezine13.pdf

So is this a hidden track on the end of X&Y? Or is it a bonus track that is actually in the tracklisting?

first off I just want to say how much I love this song. I could shed a tear just hearing that acoustic guitar..

 

these lyrics arent 100% but they should be close. what beautiful lyrics..

 

 

Steal my heart and hold my tounge

I feel my time.. my time has come..

Let me in.. and lock the door.

I never felt this way before..

And the wheels just keep on turning,

and the drummers begin to drum.

I dont know which way im going,

I dont know which way ive come..

 

Oh put your hand.. inside my hands

I need someone who understands..

I need someone someone who hears..

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

 

For you.. Id wait, til kingdom come,

Until my days, my days are done.

Say youll come, and set me free..

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

 

In your tears, and in your blood..

In your tears and in your blood

In your fire and in your flood

I heard you laugh.. I heard you sing..

And i wouldnt change a single thing..

And the wheels they keep on turning,

they drummers begin to drum.

I dont know which way im going,

I dont know what ive become

 

For you id wait.. oh til kingdom come.

Until my days.. until my days are done.

Oh say youll come and set me free

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

 

Not a huge deal, but I'm listening to it now and there are a few corrections:

 

"I feel my time.. my time has come..

Let me in.. and lock the door." Should be "Let me in, unlock the door"

 

"And the wheels just keep on turning,

and the drummers begin to drum." Should be "the drummer begins to drum"

 

:)

I was just listening to the Sirius and my gosh! That song almost made me cry! :stunned:

Yes this song lifts X&Y up to the top.

Without this song X&Y wouldn't be the same

Yeah, I agree!! It's so beautiful~ :P

whats the flipping point in making it a 'bonus track'? Why not just let it be the last song on the bloody album? We all know it's there' date=' the whole point of a 'bonus'/'hidden' track is that it isn't. If they're going to play and promote it as a track from the new album, they should just have it on there as a whole song. Sorry, these bonus songs annoy me, I hope, at least, that it has a track no. of its own, similar to those on the special version of the Snow Patrol album. I doubt that though. Before anyone mentions it, I thought the same about Life Is For Living.[/quote']

 

Be happy, you could have gotten nothing :P

Steal my heart and hold my tongue.

I feel my time, my time has come.

Let me in, unlock the door.

I've never felt this way before.

 

The wheels just keep on turning,

The drummer begins to drum,

I don't know which way I'm going,

I don't know which way I've come.

 

Hold my hand inside your hands,

I need someone who understands.

I need someone, someone who hears,

For you, I've waited all these years.

 

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.

Until my day, my day is done.

And say you'll come, and set me free,

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

 

In your tears and in your blood,

In your fire and in your flood,

I hear you laugh, I heard you say,

"I wouldn't change a single thing."

 

The wheels just keep on turning,

The drummers begin to drum,

I don't know which way I'm going,

I don't know what I've become.

 

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,

Until my days, my days are done.

Say you'll come and set me free,

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

 

 

That's what I made out...

I really fell in love with this song when I heard it. As you can probably tell by my sig. It actually did make me cry a little when I heard it for personal reasons, but it really makes the album.

oh dear... i was just about to finish up listening to the album the first time and go make myself a sandwich when i heard chris laugh "one, two" and that piano and guitar hit at the beginning and my heart melted as much as the grill cheese sandwich i was about to eat. wonderful signature, sickxofxme, wonderful. this song is the perfect successor of life is for living. i'm going to go throw away my masculinity and cry to this song now.
