lyrics

Down the wings they’re set to play
Up in the Gods they watch and wait
Does this wheel run or just rotate?
Leaves turn red, the fabric frays
Another Saint to Cuthbert’s caves
Hands will touch and then march on again

Above a moon, burning hay
Below a hunter’s lost his way
Just one more week I hear you say
Pick that berry from that yew
Climb that mountain, sip that stew
One more blow and I’ll reel round again

Mama, the way the wind rolls upon the pines
Blowing like there’s something I should know
Mama, well it’s kinda caught my eye
All this sea beneath this sky
Is that a single reason why
We have our place, we have our time
And go?
A low, low
And a high, high

Who wore pink under pines?
Who jump ship with a love in mind?
Don’t you know son, the best of friends are blind
All this chalk, and all this clay
All these poles across the quay
All these storms and I’m back here again

The pier’s roof, the grand’s décor
Red rust on the wish tower door
Shingle keeps creeping up the shore
A warm fire, a rain day
A cold and windy promenade
One last look before I leave again

Mama, the way the wind rolls upon the pines
Blowing like there’s something I don’t know
Mama, well it’s kinda caught my eye
All this sea beneath this sky
Is that a single reason why
We have our place, we have our time
And go?
A low, low
And a high, high

Mama, the way the wind reels and rolls upon the pines
Blowing like there’s something we oughta know
Mama, well it’s kinda caught my eye
All this sea beneath this sky
Is that a single reason why
We have our place, we have our time
And go?
A low, low
And a high, high
