lyrics
On a golden, soft-focus day, we took the train
Found dark woods on chalk hills. This couldn't be anywhere but England
A high fort and a breathless climb. Soft green country spread out below
Small patches of chalk peep through the grass
We didn't plan to take this path, on this exposed chalk hill
We bare our scars and share our past, exposed on this chalk hill
Life's left us weary, bruised and scared. Long thin limbs show tendons and bones
We explain our scars, exchange our stories. And hope we can trust this hill to hold
Darkness falls, we can hide again. We slide close together for warmth
And share a shy clumsy touch
We didn't plan to take this path, on this exposed chalk hill
We bare our scars and share our past, exposed on this chalk hill
Deep blue shirt, deep blue sky, deep blue eyes.
