The Brook Songtext
von The Joy Formidable

On the great blue hill
All the distance died
I became your water
As the atlas falls
Let′s start running over, smoothing every stone

You move, touch every scared trace
I want to lose control, give you the underneath
You, us, here, I feel it tracing everywhere
Just take all of me

Maybe the brook won't save me
It′s racing at my side, but I know
I only run high to low
Maybe the brook won't carry
A heavy heart that's grown, and I know
I only run high to low


Forget the echo below
Come to the sound that you know
That will never leave
Oh, I′m in love with vanishing
I′m in love with what could have been
And it's not real

You move, touch every scared trace
I want to lose control, give you the underneath
You, us, here, I feel it tracing everywhere
Just take all of me

Maybe the brook won′t save me
It's racing at my side, but I know
I only run high to low
Maybe the brook won′t carry
A heavy heart that's grown, but I know
I only run high to low

You′re here with me
Alive with me
A glowing heart that blinds the tired game
I'm ashamed
Oh, this valley holds your name


Baby
This tower put me in the clouds
What did I see?
I saw farther than ever before
Stitches of fields from the cliffs to the moors
And across our garden, from the town to the estuary
It falls quick into the pale blue sea
Where everything becomes nothing

Oh, maybe the brook won't save me
It′s racing at my side, but I know
I only run high to low
Maybe, oh the brook won′t carry me
Now that it knows
I only run high to low

I only run high to low
