So I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, I couldn't find an active forum for lyrics transcription but if this isn't the place for this and someone knows of one I would love it if you sent me that way!

Here's the song : http://soundcloud.com/birthrecords/j...treets-of-mine (this is a legit upload by the record company as a sample)

So I found out about this wonderful song a few weeks ago, it's part of Jessica Pratt's debut album Night Faces which was released on nov 13. Understandably I haven't been able to find any lyrics for it yet so I thought I'd try and transcribe them, however she has a very unique way of pronouncing things which has made it slightly hard for me, perhaps one or some of you guys could try and help me get a proper lyric out from it. Here's what I've got, I've marked the places that I'm really unsure about but I'm sure there are more things that need to be corrected!

Someone may have called, my line
from down below
When shadows are to find
the traces, [back to woe ?]

In this town
I walk by your door
things change
I can't see you anymore
and you go the places that we've gone
before

never changing

Oh the light
in my life
is fading

heaven high
[load grand tide?]
remaining

now it's midnight
the twilight
[the evening on?]

and we fly
ever higher
in these streets of mine

And these streets, were our streets
and these streets, were mine.

One line's still got me scratching my head; but you got most of it

Someone may have called, my line
from down below
Where the shadows ought to find
the traces that do flow

In this town.
I walk by your door,
things change.
I can't see you anymore
and you go the places that we've gone
before

never changing

All the lights in my life
are fading

Heaven high/ [hide?]
[load grand tide?]
remaining

Now it's midnight
the twilight;
the evening art

and we fly
ever higher
in these streets of mine

And these streets, were our streets
and these streets, were mine

Thanks for the help! This is definitely closer, some of it still doesn't feel like it's 100% though. "The evening art" makes alot more sense in the sentence, though to me it doesn't sound like she's saying art, you might be right though, again her accent doesn't make things super easy. "Load grand tide" really pains me, just doesn't make sense to me, even if it sounds like it's somewhat correct. I was even thinking about it before going to sleep yesterday and I thought it might be something like "heaven's high load drowns time", unfortunately upon listening today that really didn't fit that well at all. Starting to consider trying to get in contact with her instead.

Hope you can get in contact - it might prevent more sleepless nights !

Just had another listen

Is it 'pulled my line from down below' not 'called'

I am sure when you know, that tricky line will be obvious.....

Yeah, if I can't figure it out soon I'll look into a way of getting in contact, or perhaps there's even lyrics in the album booklet, who knows in this age of Spotify. 'Pulled' sounds good as well, I was thinking perhaps she meant it the way a prompter calls out the line at a theatre or an opera house when someone loses their place in the script so 'called' made sense to me. 'Pulled' does make sense in it's own way though!
