Saw a bicycle hanging from a tree
Saw her standing swollen next to that same tree
Always waiting to give birth to the world
Or the world to remember who they were
[Chorus:]
Wishing for the worlds embrace
Patiently waiting for her place
(2x)
But a grave of blue held her at arms length
So she took a look to see all she could see
Dirt of our fathers and milk of our maids
A kiss from some forgotten face
[Repeat Chorus:]
So we looked around went back to that same tree
Saw the blood streaming out towards the sea
She closed her eyes and collapsed in front of me
I closed my eyes and wished I knew where she should be
Blood of our fathers and milk of our maids
A kiss from some forgotten face
[Repeat Chorus:]
