lyrics

A paper meets a pen and a story’s mapped out as to how it all began. The truth is plain to see; as if it mound’s right up, in front of you and me. Without a second guess, they just wake up get dressed, go about their business. But with the changing of the leaves a letter arrives, but it’s not easily received.

And time keeps ticking on you know that this world is turning fast, despite it feeling slowly we begin to figure it out. What’s with all the fuss and what this story’s all about. Another page begins…

With the letter still in hand, I sat down in my chair as the room began to spin. Like the cresting of a wave I could feel the weight about to be thrust on me. As the phone began to ring, I picked it up but what answered was something going “Oooh ah, Oooh ah” Please oh tell me who are you?

Chorus

Another page begins to keep turning, the words appear and they come on, line by line so clearly I can see it now!

So grab your things, we meet at dusk, we fly by night I know some swifts we can trust. We’ll head for the sea but we’ll stick to the land and with a whale bones wish we can silence their plan. So check your maps and set your clocks where the cross is marked that’s where they will flock. We head for the sea but we stick to the land and with a whale bones wish we can silence their plan.

Chorus
