lyrics

Away, away, away, child, away

O and one day I’ll return to thee, evermore

Away, away, away, child, away

O and one day I’ll return to you



An eroded road

Through a rusted gate

That fell into disuse

It fell into disuse



Kudzu strangled trees

The space the silence leaves

Time’s effect set loose

Time’s effect set loose



No such road will ever run between us

Scattered and undrawn by the billowing winds

The day and night will sing to us in chorus

The twilight always flickers at both ends

Until it fades away…



Leaves drift unswept

Grass crept unmown

But nothing else has changed

Nothing else has changed



I still recall the way

The once unbroken stone

And it all seems the same

It all still feels the same
