Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You fell from the sky
Crash landed in  a field near the river, Adur
Flowers spring from the ground
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
[Verse 2]
In a hole beneath the bridge
You convalesced, you fashioned masks of twigs and clay
You cried beneath the drippin' trees
A ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid
[Verse 3]
With my voice I am calling you
[Verse 4]
You're a young man wakin'
Covered in blood that is not yours
You're a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
[Verse 5]
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickerin' in the gloom
You're a drug addict lyin' on your back
In a Tijuana hotel room
[Verse 6]
With my voice I am calling you
With my voice I am calling you
[Verse 7]
You're an African doctor
Harvesting tear ducts
You believe in God
But you get no special dispensation for this belief now
[Verse 8]
You're an old man sitting by the fire
You're the mist rolling off the sea
You're a distant memory in the mind of your Creator
Don't you see?
[Verse 9]
With my voice I am calling you
With my voice I am calling you
[Verse 10]
Let us sit together until the moment comes
With my voice I am calling you
With my voice I am calling you
With my voice I am calling you
With my voice I am calling you
