lyrics

We no longer belong here
We've been like strangers for a while now
The time has come to hide now
But you won't leave your post
In the rain, in the cold
Closed eyes will take you home

You dance around the mountains
But your shadow's looking lonely
Tell him not to worry
Many friends knew the song
But they left you alone
Closed eyes will take you home

There they go and they move as one
They don't even know why they run
Like shooting stars around you
Go ahead and put your brave face on
You already put down your fear
Lonely soldier all your troops have disappeared
But somebody has to stay right here

You're bursting like the sun now
And your heart is set on wonders
It beats for them like thunder
With the feet of a ghost
You stand higher than most
Closed eyes will take you home

There they go and they move as one
They don't even know why they run
Like shooting stars around you
Go ahead and put your brave face on
You already put down your fear
Lonely soldier all your troops have disappeared
But somebody has to stay right here

When will we see
What is it like
Eyes on the earth
Eyes in the sky

Many will dream
Smothered in vines
But you were planted in the light

No you won't leave your post
In the rain, in the cold
Closed eyes will take you home
Home
They'll take you home
Home

There they go and they move as one
They don't even know why they run
Like shooting stars around you, around you
Go ahead and put your brave face on
You already put down your fear
Lonely soldier all your troops have disappeared
But somebody has to stay
Somebody has to stay
Somebody has to stay right here

This album just has such a great vibe that culminates in the title track in an all-encompassing conclusion. And the colored vinyl is way cool. It is actually transparent, which isn’t obvious from the photo, but even cooler in person! James Ingles
