  • When the night patterns the room
    And black sands return
    I will drift away from land
    As the sky begins its burn
    Only you, darling, can call me back in

    For the particles are joyous
    As they aligned on your skin

    The nearer the fountain
    The nearer the fountain, more pure the stream flows
    And sweeter the river, into which love grows
    I have cried for you darling
    Are you coming back to me?

    For the particles are joyous
    As they aligned on your skin
    The particles are joyous
    As they aligned on your skin Writer/s: Damon Albarn

  • Lorrie Vaughton from FranceApart from the wistfulness of this lovely song, I`m more intrigued by the conversation that must have occured between Damon and his travelling companion. How lucky for them both. Its great sometimes to relax with a complete stranger and swop stories. I`m sure she was immensley entertaining and he of course would probably have been modestly keeping his fame under wraps ...It was typical of him to give credit to her for the concept of `Particles` and I`m sorry he wasn`t able to send her a copy of something she`d helped to create. Did she ever get to know she`d spent time with this Mega Star I wonder? But then, being the person he was obviously drawn to, it wouldn`t have mattered...
