when the waters rise
Oh my pretty saint i lost my way
Even with you by me
The rain and ivy and the stripped-bare elms
Were whispering sweet nothings to me
Where will you be coming when the storm rolls in?
Little brother you know it's always back to us
Where will you be coming when the storm rolls in?
Oh god help me i was far from home
Even with you near me
Out in the gales with the soothsayer birds
Making their predictions for me
Where will you be coming when the waters rise
Baby brother you know it's always back to us
Where will you be coming when the waters rise
Baby brother you know it's always back to us
There's this dream comes back to me
And it's lovely
It's my funeral, you and i are there
Holding hands and crying
You say, 'the minotaur's gone now, never mind
Hey, it's ok', and we go and get a drink after anyway
Where will you be standing when the saints march in?
Oh i hope i can say i'll be next to you
Where will you be standing when the saints march in?
Oh i hope i can say i'll be next to you
Where will you be coming when the waters rise?
Baby brother you know it's always back to her
Where will you be coming when the waters rise?
Baby brother you know it's always back to her
Where will you be coming when the storm rolls in?
Little brother you know it's always back to her
Where will you be coming when the storm rolls in?
Little brother you know it's always back to her
Even with you by me
The rain and ivy and the stripped-bare elms
Were whispering sweet nothings to me
Where will you be coming when the storm rolls in?
Little brother you know it's always back to us
Where will you be coming when the storm rolls in?
Oh god help me i was far from home
Even with you near me
Out in the gales with the soothsayer birds
Making their predictions for me
Where will you be coming when the waters rise
Baby brother you know it's always back to us
Where will you be coming when the waters rise
Baby brother you know it's always back to us
There's this dream comes back to me
And it's lovely
It's my funeral, you and i are there
Holding hands and crying
You say, 'the minotaur's gone now, never mind
Hey, it's ok', and we go and get a drink after anyway
Where will you be standing when the saints march in?
Oh i hope i can say i'll be next to you
Where will you be standing when the saints march in?
Oh i hope i can say i'll be next to you
Where will you be coming when the waters rise?
Baby brother you know it's always back to her
Where will you be coming when the waters rise?
Baby brother you know it's always back to her
Where will you be coming when the storm rolls in?
Little brother you know it's always back to her
Where will you be coming when the storm rolls in?
Little brother you know it's always back to her

- the last anaesthetist
- and the hindmost will be turned to salt
- a thousand winter coats
- the confession of one lately returned from the great north islands
- Petrarch Among the Minotaurs
- pines
- a portrait of the girl as a coast road
- when the waters rise
- shipwreck
- of all the dark woods the heart's the most heavy
