British Sea Power - Down on the Ground lyrics

Where I come from, silvery trees Diamond on leaf, can't you see it? Why did I leave? The clipping of wings The draping of kings I was here long before you Now kindly leave This was far far away And I knew I would not stay Down on the ground I'll be found I opened up my mouth I didn't make a sound I could not cut you down, down, down I was a girl and you were a boy With innocent thoughts getting colder Than it was before This was long long ago And I knew we'd never know Down on the ground I'll be found I opened up my mouth I didn't make a sound I could not cut you down, down, down Down, down, down Could not cut you down
