lyrics

I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I’ll follow
He is my red tail lights and my daughter

Oh, brothers, oh brothers oh brothers
Are we not ship builders?
Living by the sea, trees were never the enemy

For all that we can’t see
Sing out
To the wild and the white capped sea
Miles and miles and miles
Then feel
The sand underneath your feet

Learn, unlearn, relearn
Is our trust not broken?
Write it down for me
What do we believe?

Search the forest for the beam
that frames
the hull carrying our name
Patience for the bees
but maybe not
for the children playing at your knees

I stayed up all night talking
to the forest
You said you’d signal to me
but what’s the signal for sorry

Quiet small thing brave one
are you lost I love you
Can you really be
Sitting right here next to me

For all that we can breathe
Sing out
To the wild and the white capped sea
Miles and miles and miles
Then feel
The sand underneath your feet

Come home to me
