lyrics

A day for lone magpies, and murders of crows.
As dogs bay, the air smells of distant fires and decay.

To the ancient white way, I make, along the rutted road I snake,
Up on to the hill, where the long barrows lay.

It’s difficult to sense her presence on a cold winter's day,
In the grey, obscure light I continue my plight.

Onward to the moon coloured cliffs where the sea meets the sky,
I can see why it’s such a popular place to die.

To be, or not to be notions flow, to the rocks and the water below.
But this is no date with fate. No, it can damn well wait.

To the west a chasm of light, blood orange, purple bright.
A pair of herring gulls soar, clattering jackdaws they caw.

Back along the ancient white way, splitting the grey as dusk falls.
I can feel her with me, as the blackbirds call.

Bob Robins, my sentinels on my journey home.
Twinkling infinity above, rose hips blush.
She was always with me, but why didn't she say?
It's a beautiful end to the day.
