Lyrics Mount the Air - The Unthanks

Mount the Air

I’ll mount the air on swallows wings
To find my dearest dear
And if I lose my labour
And cannot find him there
I quickly will become a fish to search the roaring seas
I love my love
Because I know my lover
He loves me
I’ll mount the air on swallows wings
To find my dearest dear
And if I lose my labour
And cannot find him there
I quickly will become a fish to search the roaring sea
I love my love
Because I know my lover
He loves me
I’d comb the air and ocean deep
To find my dearest dear
In all my days and empty nights
I cannot find him there
I swiftly will become a deer
And scour the heathered moors
I’ll find my love before
The winter falls on these shores
I’ll cast all fear unto the wind
And bring him to my soul
And if in danger he becomes
And tumbles from my hold
I’ll break the earth on which he lands
And rest his head to sleep
I am my love
Because I know my lover
He is me
I’ll mount the air on swallows wings
To find my dearest dear
And if I lose my labour
And cannot find him there
I quickly will become a fish to search the roaring sea
I love my love
Because I know my lover
He loves me
I’ll mount the air on swallows wings
To find my dearest dear
And if I lose my labour
And cannot find him there
I quickly will become a fish to search the roaring seas
I love my love
Because I know my lover
He loves me
I’ll mount the air on swallows wings
To find my dearest dear
And if I lose my labour
And cannot find him there
I quickly will become a fish to search the roaring seas
I love my love
Because I know my lover
He loves me
A whisper, a memory
I can feel that you are near me
Oh I feel that you are near me
Oh I wish it to be
I’m holding, I’m crying
In hope that you can hear me
Oh I feel that you are near me
Oh I wish you to be
