White lines are slicing up our skies, love
Dividing you and I, love
Reminding you of home
Why, love?
We settled here like seeds, oh
We're growing you and me, oh
Leaning into the sun's glow...
I suppose every time you feel the wind in your hair
It whispers to you and you feel like you were never really there
And every memory that you cling to like the earth
Gets carried away
Carried away
Carried away, oh
Carried away and over and on
Over the factory, over the farm
The brick of the town and the forest of stone
Over the fen and the fell and the foam
Off with the crows and the hornpipe drone
Tumbling back 'til your almost gone
Carried away with the cradle blown
Down the back of your head to your childhood home
Close to the hearth and close to the bone
Into the mist where the seed was sown
Into the deep you Leviathan
Lyonesse and Avalon
And over and over and over and over and on...
White lines are sliding down our skies, love
The silver birdies fly, love
Carrying you home
