Additional information
According to Dominic Howard, this song is about writing music,[2] singing[3] and the finding of non-religious absolution through both.[2][3] He described the process of song writing as starting with things one does not understand and the result as feeling better about them.[3]
An acoustic version was released on the Butterflies & Hurricanes single. Live, the song was played from 2003 through 2005 and occasionally in 2007.
Lyrics
Lips are turning blue A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful Tiptoe to your room A starlight in the gloom I only dream of you And you never knew Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace There's no where left to hide In no one to confide The truth burns deep inside And will never die Lips are turning blue A kiss that can't renew I only dream of you My beautiful Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace Sing for absolution I will be singing And falling from your grace Our wrongs Remain unrectified And our souls Won't be exhumed
