| When hawks glide underwater
|
| And salmon replace the unborn
|
| The forgotten will rise from the ocean
|
| Nests of kelp all strewn in their horns
|
| And whispering
|
| «Please take us back, please take us back
|
| We’ve learned our lesson»
|
| Kate we are breaking down here
|
| Without your seasons and fearless snow
|
| And Kate we are breaking down here
|
| Without your seasons and fearless snow
|
| And white fanged foreverness
|
| Barefooted wilderness
|
| Green tangled gills need rest
|
| And we can be forever blessed
|
| We can be forever blessed
|
| If we take the back roads, like you said
|
| If we take the back roads
|
| And here on this pile of shell, I call out
|
| To the pods all gathered like thunderheads
|
| Thunder in our heads
|
| Crying with your songs like a peaceful death
|
| Please teach us release
|
| Teach me release
|
| Kate we are breaking down here
|
| Without your seasons and fearless snow
|
| And Kate we are breaking down here
|
| Without your seasons and fearless snow
|
| And white fanged foreverness
|
| Barefooted wilderness
|
| Green tangled gills need rest
|
| And we can be forever blessed
|
| We can be forever blessed
|
| If we take the back roads, like you said
|
| If we take the back roads
|
| And here on this pile of driftwood
|
| I will carefully string up stick by stick
|
| Thin by thick, bit by bit
|
| Rib by rib, rib by rib
|
| Rib by rib, rib by rib
|
| Rib by rib, rib by rib
|
| Until a mobile of you dances and shifts
|
| In perfect balance, take me back
|
| In perfect balance, take me back
|
| I’ve learned my lesson
|
| And white fanged foreverness
|
| Barefooted wilderness
|
| Green tangled gills need rest
|
| And we can be forever blessed
|
| We can be forever blessed
|
| If we take the back roads, like you said
|
| If we take the back roads |
