Her to the Earth Songtext
von Elbow

We live in a troubling age

Falling leaves in an unearthly autumn light
Become the frame and chip my curse away
Above the waves, you can still see where we drown
No looking down

Oblivion′s oblivion
You're not the be and end-all
You breathe the city air, you count the carrion
You′re not the be and end-all
You've got pain, you've got rage
Well, we′ll hold the front page

We live in a troubling age


All the breaths is a chorus of peace tonight
I kiss your name and fold your words away
Above the clouds, big sister does her rounds
And sees us both so clear from 30 worlds away
Her to the Earth as I to you forever
The gentle circling

The endless circling
Her to the Earth as I to you forever
And if I hold your gaze
How you take to the stage

We live in a troubling age
But the world has given me arms for you
Stay, my bonny girl, stay
I couldn′t leave, go, if I wanted to
All roads lead to your door
Since moonlight honoured our first embrace

Stay, my bonny girl, stay
Stay, my bonny girl, stay
Stay, my bonny girl, stay
Stay, my bonny girl, stay
Stay, my bonny girl, stay
Stay, my bonny girl, stay
