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 that breathes 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 thirty 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, girl, 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
