White Ribbons
There were too many people for us to make sense
You were selling your books and I scratched a few pence
And you said that it all comes full circle again
And the past is still changing from now 'til the end
And she'll never know
Just where you go
You sit so far away and be on your cliff top by the sea
There was toast in the toaster and fruit in the bowl
Like the slender white ribbons that swim through your soul
And the lights on the ceiling hang dangling and bare
Like the silver grey beings that cluster and stare
And she'll never know
Just where you go
With you music in your ears, what you hear she'll never hear
She'll never know
Just where you go
You sit so far away and be on your cliff top by the sea
Now you're closer than ever
Still you can't touch his face
But at least you're around and you're in the right place
To be real to yourself you must root yourself deep
For the earth it will anchor your dreams as you sleep
And she'll never know
Just where you go
With that look upon your face in a state of bliss and grace
She'll never know just where you go
You sit so far away and be on your cliff top by the sea
She'll never know
She'll never know
You were selling your books and I scratched a few pence
And you said that it all comes full circle again
And the past is still changing from now 'til the end
And she'll never know
Just where you go
You sit so far away and be on your cliff top by the sea
There was toast in the toaster and fruit in the bowl
Like the slender white ribbons that swim through your soul
And the lights on the ceiling hang dangling and bare
Like the silver grey beings that cluster and stare
And she'll never know
Just where you go
With you music in your ears, what you hear she'll never hear
She'll never know
Just where you go
You sit so far away and be on your cliff top by the sea
Now you're closer than ever
Still you can't touch his face
But at least you're around and you're in the right place
To be real to yourself you must root yourself deep
For the earth it will anchor your dreams as you sleep
And she'll never know
Just where you go
With that look upon your face in a state of bliss and grace
She'll never know just where you go
You sit so far away and be on your cliff top by the sea
She'll never know
She'll never know
