Keep Your Head Up - Ben Howard

I spent my time watchin'

The spaces that have grown between us

And I cut my mind on second best

Or the scars that come with the greenness

And I gave my eyes to the bottom

Still the seabed wouldn’t let me in

And I tried my best

To embrace the darkness in which I swim

I’m walkin' back down this mountain

With the strength of a turnin' tide

Oh the wind’s so soft and my skin

And the sun so hard upon my side

Oh lookin' out at this happiness

I search for between the sheets

Oh, feelin' blind and realize

All I was searchin' for was me

Oh, oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me…

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong

No, no, no, no

Keep your mind set, keep your hair long

Oh my, my darlin'

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong

No, no, no, no

Keep your mind set in your ways

And keep your heart strong

I saw a friend of mine the other day

And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'

Oh, I said I had been away

And he knew, oh, he knew the depths I was meanin'

And it felt so good to see his face

All the comfort invested in my soul

Oh, to feel the warmth of a smile

When he said, «I'm happy to have you home

Oh, oh-oh, I’m happy to have you home"

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong

No, no, no, no (Keep your head up, keep your heart strong)

Keep your mind set, keep your hair long (Keep your head up, keep your heart

strong)

Oh my, my darlin'

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong

No, no, no, no

Keep your mind set in your ways

And keep your heart strong

'Cause I’ll always remember you the same

Oh, eyes like wild flowers, oh, with your demons of change…

(Keep your head up, keep your heart strong)

May you find happiness there (Keep your head up, keep your heart strong)

(Keep your head up, keep your heart strong)

May all your hopes all turn out right (Keep your head up, keep your heart

strong)

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong

No, no, no, no (Keep your head up, keep your heart strong)

Keep your mind set, keep your hair long (Keep your head up, keep your heart

strong)

Oh my, my darlin'

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong

No, no, no, no

Keep your mind set in your ways

And keep your heart strong

'Cause I’ll always remember you the same

Oh, eyes like wild flowers, oh, with your demons of change
