lyrics

MAKE EACH OTHER ANEW

so i pulled all the leaves down from the trees
i gathered them up and took them with me
and the night came on and the day getting gone
and you are well on your way so here comes the song

we were forever alight and never without
it was blow winds blow and scream and shout
and i stood up straight thought i could handle it all
but you are built for the mountains and i’m built for the fall

these days i know we cannot win
my head loses face and my compass spins
and immediately we become strangers again 
we got to make each other got to make each other anew

and from the london docks to the water well
you are the source and the cause of the ocean swell
you are weighted at rest and as steam on the move
you are fearless on tiptoes clumsy and true

well i stumble on my feet but i run on my knees
you have a tongue that can cut and fingers that bleed
i am childless aimless without and behind
you are the peach and the plum and the thorn in my side

these days i know we cannot win
my head loses face my compass spins
and immediately we become strangers again 
we got to make each other got to make each other anew

now there’s not much to lose down here in the mire
theres nothing cowardly about having to hide
there ain’t nothing new in the shape of the song
and theres nothing to see here girls move along

you wrote you’d be here in time you were hours late
you said i’ll see you tonight you were gone for days
i should be used to the silence the holding of breath
but it hasn’t to be honest got easier yet

and hearne the hunter still haunts the old woods 
he had a home in the oak and we slept there too
and you clung on close and you whispered to my skin
all the ways you would take it and pull it in

by now the fighting has stopped and the birds have returned
they settle themselves on the Yew and the Birch
the fields turn soft it’s almost spring
we got to wait and see what the warm weather brings
