lyrics

THE FOG HAS NOT LIFTED

the fog has not lifted and the birds do not sing
they settle on the branches but they don’t say a thing
and this used to be green fields where the stroudwater runs
but ten thousand boots have churned it to mud 
and if my letters reach you if the parcels get through
well i hope they bring some sort of comfort for you 
but i’m too scared to ask too frightened to say
do you think that you’ll make it do you see a way

cause the fog has not lifted the sea out of sight
it’s sits there somewhere in the thickness and white
and i walk on wet stones i have salt on my lips
and it’s as if you were with me it’s as if you were here
yeah it’s as if i had listened it’s as if i had been kind
it’s as if i could have known how this would wreck me in time
should get to some cover hear a whistle and a cry
and there’s a ringing in my ears and there's smoke in my eyes

the fog has not lifted it presses on the ground
so i wait for an answer a signal a sound
but the sky stays soupy and the wind does not blow
the air hangs cold with slow falling snow
and my way home is unclear my footprints fade
and i know not now from whence i came
no i know not the hour no i know not the place
i have written and waited and wasted the days
