Patrick Wolf - Teignmouth Lyrics






Teignmouth
On the night train
From the city to the south
I saw spirits
Crawl across the river mouth
In skewed ascension
With no destination
Like this lone bachelor in me
This constant yearning
For great love and learning
For the wind to carry me free

So when the birds fly south
I'll Reach up and hold their tails
Pull up and out of here
And bridle the autumn gales
Down to the burning cliffs
To the everlasting roll
To marry the untold blisses

And anchor this lost soul

From my window
I saw two birds lost at sea
I caught our reflection
In that silent tragedy
But with hope prevailing
I draw galleons sailing
In full sail billowing free

So when the birds fly south
We'll reach up and hold their tails
Pull up and out of here
And bridle the autumn gales
I give you my hand
The fingers unfold
To have and forever hold
To marry the untold blisses
And anchor this lost soul

  1. h.... l....

    I just discover him this morning in a very small bar in la croix rousse in lyon France ...i 've been capted by the violins of the musical riff of " together" a little piece of alan stivell.now i listen to him "en boucle" as french say.

  2. L.... D....

    This song makes me cry. The man really is a legend. He made me appreciate classical music again.

  3. J.... B....

    Very pleasing on the ears on the eyes too . Beauty personified on many levels Patrick .

  4. A.... H....

    I just can't stop listening to this song. And this version is a full work of art, including the setting, lighting and music...

  5. P.... G....

    This is so beautiful!

  6. s.... ....

    I really love his music and voice. However, that is 1 of the worst comb overs yet that I've seen.

  7. G.... S....

    Sigh..I love this.

  8. i.... ....

    oh my god. this version is the most beautiful thing. thank you so much.

  9. W.... G....

    Florence Welch likes this video. haa;)

  10. A.... W....

    In case anyone else is trying to play along on a non-tunable instrument, this version is pretty far from A440, so grab the album version.

  11. C.... L....

    @patrickwolftv Flawless, I've got chills. <3

  12. D.... ....

    Bravo ! I cried...

  13. N.... F....

    Eargasm!

  14. L.... S....

    Patrick Wolf - the spirit of Cornish nature!!  I actually think this is my favourite song of his - if I were to pin it down- soaring beauty.... And what a wonderfully filmed version.  Thank you for posting.  I have shared this on my influences playlist.

  15. I.... A....

    That is SO BEAUTIFUL. 

  16. M.... ....

    This is so wonderful why doesn't it have more viewssss

  17. o.... f....

    He's such a fantastic composer/song writer, one of the best in current music, and yet no one I know listens to him, which is just insanity.

    o.... f....

    Ditto, I've felt like that since Lycanthropy and still no-one listens to him. Though I haven't really kept up since The Bachelor that album broke my heart.

    o.... f....

    Patrick Wolf is a fantastic composer, it's ok. Do you know "The Irrepressibles"? Jamie Mcdermott, the leader, composer, song writer, singer, is a similar artist. I love too. As you say, no one I know listens to him, which is just insanity (...) . 😍

  18. C.... C....

    Men don`t cry...

  19. �.... �....

  22. j.... ....

    Fucking fantastic! I would have gained up the cello for a little more body if I was mixing it. Wolf's a stud!

  23. C.... G....

    this goes someway to explaining why I saw Patrick on a train from London to Cheltenham and he got off at Stroud.

  24. p.... b....

  40. P.... A....

    Ich habe Patrick bis vor 5 Minuten noch nicht gekannt und bin gerade hin und weg von seinen Künsten. Musik spielend mit einer tollen Stimme. Songs, die unter die Haut gehen - dank klassischer Instrumente und kreativen, eigenen Ideen.

  41. M.... N....

    This is so perfect, Patrick is so amazing, so much love NEED Sundark & Riverlight now! So perfect!

  42. a.... a....

    love....NY..Alicia

  43. A.... A....

    Amo a Patrick Wolf... y esta canción me encanta ojala pronto venga a México !!

  44. j.... ....

    For every sort of heart ache I've felt the past few years, to this moment, Patrick has written a song that helps me through it. This is the current one for me, and this recording/its arrangement on Sundark and Riverlight is positively gorgeous. Thank you.

  45. F.... ....

    Patrick has been around long enough that I can take what I've heard from Lycanthropy, what I hear currently, and from there, predict how his voice will evolve in the next ten, twenty, thirty years. I've come to the conclusion that he's only going to get better from here, destined to rival even Scott Walker.

  46. X.... ....

    Squeezes my heart!

  47. m.... ....

    so this is heaven..

  48. e.... ....

    i found you again, my angel.
