Lying Still Lyrics


She came through the door 'round my place
She was not the same
I reached out my hand to touch her face
She turned her head away
Her words flew in empty circles
Reasons unexplained
I saw that her thoughts were somewhere else
We made love anyway
Lying still in your arms
And the tears came down
She cried
(Her pain)
And like the rain that draws
A cloud across the sun
The tears flow on, she cried
(The pain she felt inside)
As night touched the sky with moon glow
She opened up her heart

The tides of emotions ebb and flow
Washing us apart
We talked through the night in whispers
As the silent city lay
Reasons she gave cut deep and hard
The dawn broke angry gray, yeah
Lying still in your arms
Heartbeats cold
She cried
(My pain)
Like thunder rolling through
An aching winter sky
Heartbeats cold
(Her pain)
Lying still in your arms
But the tears came down
She cried
(My pain)
And like the rain that draws
A cloud across the sun
The tears flow on
She cried the pain I felt inside, yeah
The future dissolves in the tears
The morning surrenders the years
How can you say our love wasn't real
When I see how you feel
Another time, another place
I won't cry for her no more
The days go on but the nights are long
I'll remember her for sure
Still in your arms
Still in your arms
Still in your arms
...

Internationally popular British funk-rock quartet fronted by Mark King and Mike Lindup, best known for their hits Lessons In Love, Something About You, The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), Love Games and Hot Water. They were formed on the Isle of Wight.

Though their membership has fluctuated throughout the years, the original and perhaps best-known lineup consisted of Mark King aka "Thunderthumbs" (vocals & bass), Mike Lindup (vocals & keyboards) and brothers Boon Gould (guitar) and Phil Gould (drums). After the success of the Running in the Family album, the Gould brothers left the band, citing musical differences and nervous exhaustion. King and Lindup continued, picking up replacement artists in Gary Husband on drums and former Go West and Kate Bush guitarist Alan Murphy. Murphy sadly passed away after suffering from an AIDS related illness in October 1989. The band released their then swansong album, Forever Now, in 1994.

At the end of the 80s, Mark King was recognized as one of the best bass players in the world having pioneered the 'slap and pull' technique, treating the bass as a percussion instrument. His style and virtuosity still are hugely influential, considering he also sang while he played very difficult basslines.

Following the formal breakup of the band in the mid-90s King later performed with a new lineup under the Level 42 moniker, before he and Lindup reunited to record Retroglide in 2006.

As of 2012, King and Lindup are still touring with personnel of Pete Ray Biggin, Sean Freeman and Nathan King completing the current lineup.
