Song lyrics
There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt 
It's still a little harder to say what's going on 

There's still a little bit of your ghost, your weakness
There's still a little bit of your face, I haven't kissed 
You step a little closer each day 
That I can't see what's going on 

Stones taught me to fly 
Love, it taught me to lie 
Life, it taught me to die 
So it's not hard to fall 
When you float like a cannonball 

There's still a little bit of your song in my ear 
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear 
You step a little closer to me 
So close that I can't see what's going on 

Stones taught me to fly 
Love, it taught me to lie 
Life, it taught me to die 
So it's not hard to fall 
When you float like a cannon- 

Stones taught me to fly 
Love, it taught me to cry 
So come on courage 
Teach me to be shy 
'Cause it's not hard to fall 
And I don't wanna scare her 
It's not hard to fall 
And I don't wanna lose 
It's not hard to grow 
When you know that you just don't know

Please tell me every song that has a discussion made about it won't end up on the Active Topics list...

I know it will, but lie to me.

Damien is amazing. All the songs I've heard from him are filled with so much emotion, the lyrics are great, and he sings them beautiful. Lisa Hannigan just makes everything better.

This song is one of my favourites from him. I think it was the first song I heard from Damien, and it made me really open my eyes to him.
Beautiful song.

I heard a version of this for TodayFM where Lisa sang and Damien played guitar..wow it was good! The single version I don't like so much but if it brings Damien to a wider audience and gets him more € more then power to it!
