Lyla Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Come for me and set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand
She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I've waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind

[Chorus]
Hey Lyla!
The stars about to fall
So what do you say, Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small, Lyla!
If you can't hear me call then I can't say, Lyla!
Heaven help you catch me if I fall!

[Verse 2]
She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven-Hell my mademoiselle
She ring the bell for all the world to hear

[Chorus]
Hey Lyla!
The stars about to fall
So what do you say, Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small, Lyla!
If you can't hear me call then I can't say, Lyla!
Heaven help you catch me if I fall!

Hey Lyla!
The stars about to fall
So what do you say, Lyla?
The world around us makes me feel so small, Lyla!
If you can't hear me call then I can't say, Lyla!
Heaven help you catch me if I fall!

[Outro]
Hey Lyla!
Hey Lyla!
Hey Lyla!

Noel on the writing process:

Lyla’ might have been started after I listened to a track by The Who, called ‘Armenia, City In The Sky’. I’d written the song and it was originally called “Smiler”, but Gem had already had a song called ‘Smiler’, so...
