Lyrics

No one to warn me
 it was a dead end.
  Snow like a thrown sheet
over a lost friend.
 This folded promissory note,
  no use
to the tea-cosy grouse
 with its feathered bootees;
  no use to the royal stag.
I bed down in a stone pen
 and curl up unborn.
  Is it girls singing? An avalanche?
A blue fox
 steals a lick of salt
  from my hand.
Morning, a shepherd.
 The kiss of life
  from the lips of a flask.
But the night has set down
 its strict condition:
  no question, I’ll come back.
Written by: Erland Cooper, Simon Armitage
