lyrics

In my grandmothers house
in my parents old bed
Think back to my childhood, things I cannot forget
But out here I'm a sponge,
and I soak it all up
soak up that old feeling, till I'm soaked to the core

Where the sea and the sky
have no distinct line
and the cliffs stand tall in the afternoon light
Though the patchwork hills and the rust coloured leaves
the sky reaches down and she kisses the trees
And roads run through this country
like the veins in your arms
and the blood is the workers who keep ploughing these farms
and the mud pie dinners, for the far and forlorn
while the rich write the future
for a baby yet born

And I remember the time we hit a bird on the road
watching through the windows for the others in tow
it was snowing on the hill and my skin it turned blue
and back at the house we wipe the mud from our shoes
as if it meant nothing at all

Now look at my face
and see my mothers smile
and turn to the sea when you hear the earth she cries
Out there there's somebody with a fragile heart,
somebody who's worked hard for little reward
Somebody who holds to a broken rope
in a system that can't be beaten or broke
and to some it means
nothing at all.
