Seachange - Anglokana lyrics

On a hillside in the meadows By the old copse ring of oaks They lay down there as lovers But no words of love were spoke They had drunken all her daddy's wine Stole her mothers pills The sun had burned her brittle She had taken more than her fill So as she lay there sleeping He snapped a thick branch from a tree Took it too her pretty soft head Spilled her blood onto the green Dragged her body through the woods With his bare hands dug a grave Fell down across the fresh mound He was too drunk to pray On a hillside in the meadows By the old copse ring of oaks Are the graves of two young lovers Of which no more words are spoke Once the discoveries made its locked down permanent People ahead of their games get it wrong with bold claims She says the naivety of the seventies meant we Could take up torches and run into fields without fears And she talks in a way, all bookish, sincere And you wonder have you ever been there in your heart? There comes a point when you need something to hold onto The whole free love thing only works with some people Camera picks up on rude Camera picks up extreme Camera picks up confused Camera picks up on a boy If I came out to meet you Maybe if I made it clear Maybe if we waited a season Or just another year Midsummer night and the fires alight Deep in the shadows – the shadows of the copse And she's dancing circles around Singing songs she had no right to know Get home late the house is dark Sun still on your skin but there's a chill in your heart I should have known I should have known
