Weller, Paul - A Year Late Lyrics






Something worn, like a blanket thrown
around your heart, your crystal spirit
Keeps me warm, and safe from harm
wrapped around my shoulder

I love to wake, and watch your face
and while you sleep, I fall for you again
Is it true, what I feel for you
Wish I could help it through
so you could feel it too

And the leaves around my door
and the sunlight in the hall
and darkness that will fall
make me want you more

Morning breaks, on the icy flakes
That collect around, our window
Its cold outside, brings a harsh goodbye
with clouds at our mouths, as we breath a sigh

As I look,like a long lending book
Page after page, we are turning
But, is it true, what I feel for you
Wish I could help it through
So you could feel it too

and the leaves around my door
and the sunlight in the hall
And darkness that will fall
Just make me want you more
Oh make me want you more
Want you more

Weller, Paul A Year Late Comments
  1. S.... E....

    Myfavouriteshop that is the genius of Paul Weller, he can write something as beautiful as this and then put it on a B side for us to stumble upon.

  2. m.... e....

    rosie "made me" wetter wow!

  3. m.... l....

    It sounds like he sings 'something warm like a blanket from' but the lyrics I read on't t'internet say 'something worn like a blanket thrown' Does anyone know definitively what it is?

    m.... l....

    I always thought it was "something warm like a blanket worn?"...Don't know as a fact, sorry.

  4. s.... ....

    One of my favourite tunes from an outstanding writer

  5. B.... ....

    Saw the guy in New York and he is still a legend.

  6. H.... ....

    There's something very sexy about a woman with a reverberating wooden box between her legs.

  7. j.... ....

    Top song that! Weller at his best. Weller is God

  8. B.... ....

    @brazil70 What would you have me say instead dear?

  9. R.... M....

    @BaronVonPenguin 'This kind of thing'? Is that your definition of the song/Nick Drake's songs/music? You could say that about anything. Why do you bother?

  10. h.... ....

    surpassed all his 60's influences easily

  11. A.... M....

    @MOGTROG Fuck critics. Weller is the victim is major classism, but is arguably the best songwriter this country has ever produced....

    A.... M....

    spot on mate!

  12. d.... ....

    This song, A Year Late, ranks, I think among his overall best work, both as writer and performer. A crystalline piece of songcraft with the twin Weller attack of being brutal and gentle at once is on fine display here. You only need to hear this song once to INSTANTLY know what he meant by the title. Lachrymose and brutal simultaneously, as only the rogue Weller can do, in song, at least. This is the only Weller track that to me seems almost too private to release. Anyone?

    d.... ....

    I loved this when it first came out and hear it here for the first time in about 15 years. A grown man with tears of joy, bitterness, love and hope and sadness....as in this masterpiece. Peace dkomjath

    d.... ....

    This is in my top 3 acoustic songs by Paul , Country and English Rose the other 2 , but that changes often as there is so many sublime songs to choose from ,

  13. a.... ....

    @lambanmartyr Absolute class!!!!!!!!! Just back from seeing him in Dublin. Sheer quality

  14. a.... ....

    Absolute class!!!!!!!! Just back from Dublin where he was as quality as ever.

    Absolute class!!!!!!!! Just back from Dublin where he was as quality as ever.

  16. r.... ....

    My favourite song ever

  17. g.... ....

    f-ing beautiful. The man is one of best unsung talents around.

  18. l.... ....

    I was so possessed by this version last month I immediately set out to figure out how to get the audio. I can't say I did the best job of it...but I am glad I did. I listened to it about 30 times in a row.

    Thanks again for posting this Brazil!

  19. l.... ....

    This is mind numbingly beautiful...... Thanks for posting.

  20. P.... B....

    there is nothing more beautiful in this world, than the sound of paul weller and an acoustic guitar............everything has a price to pay!

  21. J.... ....

    amazing

  22. C.... M....

    This was the b-side to 'You do something to me' and there was a huge heart on the back of the single... my favourite Paul Weller song.

  23. c.... ....

    do you mean the bio called my ever changing moods because i just red that i fort it was suberb

  24. K.... ....

    Best of British.

  25. j.... ....

    theres a dvd out - "2 classic performances" and the whole thing is on there.

  26. K.... ....

    Back again to give it another look, even though I've got this performance on video. Anybody read the new Weller Biography? got it for Xmas and finished it by New Year. Very insightful. Still adore this song.

  27. G.... H....

    addicted to this song ,set on repeat

  28. K.... ....

    I still reckon this is my favourite song, fom any artist. Beautifully performed.
    'and while you sleep, I fall for you again'.
    Just brilliant!

  29. D.... C....

    One of his greatest ballads I think!
