lyrics

These foaming green isles mark the bounds of my love
If I could choose another home
Oh, sweet heavens above...
A curious laughter of lead in the heather
Says, “be scared -
They’ll rip you apart”

Should I abuse the right to be free?
By joining young bodies in the sea?
And leave a lonely wife, who hides in my heart?
Since we prepared to play our part...

For only when lying in the garden, so precious
Will this mean something, instead of nothing
Soft belly bare, under bracken and bark
I’ll take history’s cool hands in the dark

See, it’s never enough to only die -
There’ll be no chorus of kisses by my side
Will our families pen eulogies when we’re gone?
“Pale ghosts in the trees!
I can see clearly!”
