Durban Skies Lyrics

Bastille

[Intro]
All that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for
In the heat, try to love
These streets

[Verse 1]
In this town, it all went down
Our chromosomes in sepia tones
In my mind
In my mind

Where you led your lives before
From our small island, brought right back
To these shores, to these shores
To these shores

[Chorus]
It's alive, it's alive
When I see it through your eyes
It's alive, it's alive
Now I understand your lives

When you take me there
You show me the city; I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city, beneath the Durban skies

[Refrain 1]
Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh
All that I've got to be thankful for...

[Verse 2]
On the day you made your vows
The heavens opened, rain poured down
It poured down, down, down...

Grey and brown, the seventies
The suits you wore, and the ones you loved
Were so young, were so young
Lord, you were so young

[Chorus]
It's alive, it's alive
When I see it through your eyes
It's alive, it's alive
Now I understand your lives

When you take me there
You show me the city; I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city, beneath the Durban skies

[Refrain 2]
Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh
All that I've got to be thankful for...

Oh, all that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for

[Chorus]
It's alive, it's alive
When I see it through your eyes
It's alive, it's alive
Now I understand your lives

When you take me there
You show me the city; I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city, beneath the Durban skies

[Outro]
When you take me there
There
When you take me there
There

When you take me there
It's alive, it's alive
When you take me there
It's alive, it's alive
