If I was to fall into shadows Don't you be afraid Not anymore You see All this don't concern me And I'm not the same As I was before Oh, love Closer to you Cut me from the branch Cut me from the root The big light's on Tall shadows surround me Like warm stones we sleep Descendants of the mother-tree Just you and me On and on, a river-song Whispering in my bones Go back to your old ways I'll make you whole Dying rivers, singing streams And dreaming of the rain Awake inside a leaden dream You fall again, fall again, fall again Poplar trees in the breeze I'm blown out on a high plain Screaming in the early morn A renegade freight train Maybe there's another town Up around the bend waiting A cool blue moorish sky The forest moon already fading The sun goes down In a quiet seaside town Silently saying hello Staring the horizon down Oh, love Closer to you Cut me from the branch Cut me from the root On and on to sandy shores With the fading moon Where your dark haired love lies You make her swoon Far away the dying day Lies stretched out across the plain Paraders of the true cross Return again Return again Return again
