Lyrics

Broken legged pigeon flies
Shuffles through the air
The fluttering wings, They're whispering
Our silent fanfare
A furrowed face, a long long tale
No such thing as ageing well
Lines and tears, a book of years
A radiant life untold
The lacquer cracks, the beauty there
Beholds the weathered eye
All these turning seasons, babe
Spinning the clock, painting the sky
Will you choose to be
the river to the sea?
There's a good and bad in you and me
The ocean storms, the ocean sits
I love you just the same
The way you think you've gone so wrong
Civil war, with no-one to blame
Nature lacks our perfect lines
So what stays within the frame
Every flaw, a story holds
Our triumphs and our shame
The lacquer cracks, the beauty there
Beholds the weathered eye
All these turning seasons, babe
Spinning the clock, painting the sky
Will you choose to be
the river to the sea?
There's a good and bad in you and me
I'll take you through the air
On the way from here to there
I won't read you, I want you near
