Lyrics Migration - The Innocence Mission

Migration

My love will sail this ship
Through great storms and ice floes
He is not afraid as I am
He is not afraid
And this is why he knows the way
And this is why he knows the way
He knows the way
Oh my brothers and sisters, he is so kind
Despite the losses that have made us this sad
Five blocks of sidewalk chalk he steers us clear of
Blue ice skaters and animals
And this is why he knows the way
And this is why he knows the way
He knows the way
All the birds of this neighborhood are leaving
Some days we feel left behind
