lyrics

Migration

Clouds are heavy and I’m restless
It’s been going on for days
They keep holding back forever
But won't open up and rain
We’ve been climbing this mountain
Without knowing how far
The peaks are from the valleys
Scorched brush from the fire
Moonlight from shadows
Winter from spring
My body from your longing
Pleasure from sin

Use those branches make a shelter
Yeah right here will do just fine
Light some candles for companions
Regret the lack of wine

We found our way like a migration
Followed stars like guiding wires
But then the clouds moved in above us and
City lights came out as liars

Whiskey became our water
And the fire became the bar
They started telling us our stories
And our wings were clipped by cars

Use those boxes make a shelter
Yeah right here will do just fine
Forget the many little heart breaks
They cut the forest up in lines

Can I wear you like a blanket
Pull you over my head
Let them all just flow around us
To them we’re already dead
Can I wear you like a blanket
Keep me warm while we walk
Mark our journey out in ochre
Leave our letters on the rocks
Leave love letters on the rocks

We found our way like a migration
Followed stars like guiding wires
But then the clouds moved in above us and
City lights came out as liars
