Down at the slow end of the week
I found a moment
A fuzzy memory of faith
Nineteen years crashing silent
Like a galaxy can
A breath of air
All I need is a breath of air
From inside the balloon

So I say now
Welcome to the afternoon
So I say now
Sing another Northern tune

Down at the sharp end of this town
A shadow beckoned
We took cover from the sun
Ten minutes passing slower than a galaxy can
Who knows this view
Dare I ask who knows this view
File it all under ‘Soon’

So I say now
Welcome to the afternoon
So I say now
Sing another Northern tune

Sing a Northern tune
Sing a Northern tune
May it answer your call
Or break your fall

Up at the cool end of the road
I heard them laughing
Inspiration to the last
This second dropping faster than a galaxy can
A breath of air
All I need is a breath of air
From outside the balloon

So I say now
Welcome to the afternoon
So I say now
Sing another Northern tune
