Lyrics for Her to the Earth
We live in a troubling age Falling leaves in an unearthly autumn light Become the frame and chip my curse away Above the waves, you can still see where we drown No looking down Oblivion's oblivion You're not the be and end-all You breathe the city air, you count the carrion You're not the be and end-all You've got pain, you've got rage Well, we'll hold the front page We live in a troubling age All the breaths is a chorus of peace tonight I kiss your name and fold your words away Above the clouds, big sister does her rounds And sees us both so clear from 30 worlds away Her to the Earth as I to you forever The gentle circling The endless circling Her to the Earth as I to you forever And if I hold your gaze How you take to the stage We live in a troubling age But the world has given me arms for you Stay, my bonny girl, stay I couldn't leave, go, if I wanted to All roads lead to your door Since moonlight honoured our first embrace Stay, my bonny girl, stay Stay, my bonny girl, stay Stay, my bonny girl, stay Stay, my bonny girl, stay Stay, my bonny girl, stay Stay, my bonny girl, stay
