lyrics

We‘re All Leaving
Dave Gunning / Karine Polwart - SOCAN / Bay Songs Ltd.

There is thunder on the skyline
And it tears her breath away
In the twilight iron-grey
A father’s human hand could not command her
To return to them once more
Like a soldier from the war
We’re all leaving
Even the ones who stay behind
We’re all leaving in our own time
Each night surrenders to another morning
Still beneath the April skies
He can hear a quiet cry
On smiling fields there’s a battle raging
And for every bloom he knows
Another flower never grows
And he has no Ark to bear him from this flood
Just a broken vessel wrought in flesh and blood
Though the riptides pull him under
He cannot cease to wonder
At the beauty of it all, at the beauty of it all
He brings her mother to the church doors
And while she prays for what must come
He walks the woods alone
And there he builds his own cathedrals
And on every whirring wing
He can hear the forest sing
