David Gray - Skellig lyrics

Oh that the song I'm singing Was an ocean wide And that the word I'm bringing Reaches over to the other side Each heart a burning vessel Out on a pitch black wave Chewing the bone and gristle When it's the flesh of love we crave And when a lie starts dancing Oh boy it sure can run Be halfway around the world Before the truth can get its trousers on And in a nightclub mirror I caught the merest glimpse Of my pre-human spirit Frozen like a deer yeah, in the headlamps Until it just don't matter Until we're far from care And when illusions shatter You see the carnage everywhere So with a taste like metal On through the fog of war So many hurts like nettles All growing up around my door I'm gonna cut that stairway Yeah with my own bare hands Up to that high rock plateau Make my home inside the winds Inside the winds Inside the winds Up to that high rocky plateau Make my home inside the winds
