Lyrics Breaking the Yearlings - Shearwater

Breaking the Yearlings

Change
The river is blocked
The road is hot
The sky is blazing
Black smoke on the rise
The weather holds
Until it’s on you
And then suddenly breaks
I curl right back into the sound
I take one breath and spiral down
And you not watching the road
Or watching the flood stage rise
And we are yearlings
Not watching the tide run out
Till what the daylight hides
Is known
Yearlings
Not watching the tide run out
We are yearlings (I curl right back into the sound)
Feeling the blood break down
Yearlings (I take one breath and spiral down) (The sky is blazing)
Not watching the tide run out
We are yearlings (I curl right back into the sound) (Until it’s on you)
Feeling the blood break down
Yearlings (I take one breath and spiral down)
Not watching the tide run out
We are yearlings (I curl right back into the sound)
Feeling the blood break down
