[Verse 1: Jessie Buckley]
She's staring out to sea
Silence itself
Echoes out of the cold
Oh, you sounds of old
[Verse 2: Jessie Buckley]
But here is the secret
Nothing's lost is found
The tide is broken now
When the whisper dissolves
[Verse 3: Jessie Buckley]
Like a kind of a bird
Never gets any rest
Spends its whole life on its wings
Beats the wind instead
[Chorus: Jessie Buckley, Bernard Butler, & Both]
And the wind said "fly"
And the sea said "live"
And the sun says it can, it can, it will, it will fly away
But the rain
We must listen to that
The rain knows all of these songs
That our hearts havе mapped
And your tongue is a river
Hеading out to the shore
Interrupted by a heartbeat
A boulder in the flow
There's no fear without courage (Fear without courage)
Sense of what's left behind or to come (What's to come)
Just adrift in a moment (Adrift in the moment)
Afloat in the storm (Afloat in the storm)
And the wind said "fly" (The wind says "fly")
The sea said, "live" (The sea says, "live")
And the sun says it can, it can, it will, it will fly away
But the rain (Oh, but the rain)
We must listen to that (We must listen to that)
The rain knows all of these songs
That our hearts have mapped (That our hearts have mapped)
Your tongue is a river (Your tongue is a river)
Heading out to the shore (Heading out to the shore)
Interrupted by your heartbeat
Like a boulder in the flow ( A boulder in the flow)
[Outro: Jessie Buckley]
Your tongue is a river
You must listen to that
Interrupted by a heartbeat
Just a footnote on the map
Haha
