1.	Hockney (Croydon version) 03:10	lyrics	buy track
I Shadows lie long on the heath The Humber is swollen There’s snow under feet The Helm wind cries out Like a manacled beast I thought that I saw you But no, it can’t be Laid down next to me Laid down next to me Waxy and bronze through the trees Laid down next to me Laid down next to me Your matter all melted with his It’s a matter of chance Like all manner of things II Swallows rise up through the trees The leaves are all turning from honey to peach Canticles swell In the early dawn heat I swear you were there But you couldn’t have been Laid down next to me Laid down next to me The bass of your voice in my seat Laid down next to me Laid down next to me Whistling Hallelujah through your teeth There’s a bird in the rafters That’s laughing at me
2.	Hockney (Granada version) 01:47	lyrics	buy track
I Lay me down beside you like a fallen bough II Run along beside me like a bubbling brook
