White Ladder
David Gray Lyrics
White ladder
Water and wine
Forever
Crying oh time
Don't wanna
Feel tonight
There's no rhyme or reason to love
This sweet love
Thunder and war
How many
Time, oh no
Don't wanna
Feel no more
There's no rhyme or reason to love
This sweet, sweet love
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
Burning flame
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
A burning flame
Tall order
Tremble inside
Forever
Crying oh man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't wanna
Feel tonight
There's no rhyme or reason to love
This sweet, sweet love
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
Burning flame
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
A burning flame
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another Valentine
Burning flame
White ladder
Water and wine
Don't wanna feel tonight

1) David Gray is a British singer-songwriter born on June 13, 1968 in Sale, United Kingdom. He released his first studio album in 1993 and received worldwide attention after the release of White Ladder six years later in 1999.
Gray moved to Wales at age 9 and later returned to the north-west of England to attend the University of Liverpool. His musical career got early support from a dedicated Irish fan base. After a few marginally-successful releases through the 1990s, Gray's breakthrough came with the worldwide release in 1999 of his fourth album, White Ladder; this was a critical and commercial success and included his best-known songs, "This Years Love" and "Babylon". In the United States, the album received a boost from jam-band leader Dave Matthews, who made it the first release by the record company he co-founded, ATO Records.
On August 11, 2001 White Ladder at last reached the top of the UK charts, having been selling steadily since its reissue the previous May, thereby setting a new record for the longest uninterrupted climb to No. 1. The follow-up, A New Day At Midnight, also hit No. 1, and Gray's seventh album, Life in Slow Motion was released on September 12, 2005.
Gray's early music was in a contemporary folk-rock, singer-songwriter mode; his primary instrument was acoustic guitar, with occasional piano. 1996's Sell Sell Sell featured some rock arrangements and electric instrumentation. Starting with the release of White Ladder in 1999, Gray began to make significant use of computer-generated music to accompany his voice and acoustic instrumentation, a technique which differentiates him from many of his peers. Despite the move to more complex music, Gray has used small-scale, often home-based, recording methods and equipment and espoused a "do it yourself" approach to music production. However, Life in Slow Motion is a collaboration with noted producer Marius De Vries.
David Gray's brothers-in-law are Paul and Phillip Hartnoll, formerly of the Techno/Rave band Orbital. Because of this relationship, Gray performed guest vocals on the Orbital single Illuminate, while Paul Hartnoll produced a breakbeat remix of Gray's song "Please Forgive Me".
His successful single "January Rain" was included in the original soundtrack of the movie Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

Lyrics as written by David Gray Craig McClune
TT. Crafty Carp.(As seen Fishing on Ch 4 TV).
Listening to this in Gran Canaria in the late 1998's
Great times.
We sold some Real Estate back then, as full time Property Brokers.
We got paid in cash back then.
In Big brown envelopes.
We danced on the tables, until dawn in Puerto Rico.
We all had a..... Little Sniff.
Wonderful times.
TT.

Nice music.
John L Sullivan
One of the greatest albums ever
Yvonne Keen
Sure is. I'm just so sad that I've only just discovered it.
Dan Wilson
Such a great recording. In my top 10. Moved home over the last week, and when I finally landed in my new place this album made comfort again
Ed Green
Davids vocals rip right through your soul.
Paul Freeman
Flippin eck, I Thought he'd died when the letters RIP in your comments ha ha
Daniel Bradley
Really distinctive record. One of those that successfully captures a time and a place but that also translates internationally. I like the limitations of the scope in terms of technology and instrumentation, and this all ads to the creative approach and unique sound of the piece. And leaves ample space for David’s awesome voice.
Colin Montgomery
What limitations, specifically, are you speaking about?
