Big Blue

(album: Strange Brotherhood - 1998)

So now let us sing of what remains
There shall be stillness in our hearts
There shall be a sweetness in our lives, bye and bye
There's a beach I know at the edge of the world
Mist rising up from the breaking waves
Towards the cliffs, as green as god
We'll be flying for the sake of flying, singing for the sake of singing
Looking back down on the lonely world dive, dive, diving down
Into the big blue we shall lose ourselves, gone are the doubts
And the fear of falling hate is a curse lifted from our shoulders
We never meant it in the way they thought

If we hold our nerve, they will travel right over us
They'll be going so fast they will never even notice us
We'll be flying for the sake of flying singing for the sake of singing
Looking back down on the lonely world dive, dive, dive
Into the big blue we shall lose ourselves, gone are the doubts
And the fear of falling hate is a curse lifted from our shoulders
We never meant it in the way they thought

Time to die, and die, and die again; doors closing in empty houses
Time to roll, and roll, and roll again and all I hear is the diesel roaring
Just like a people put to flight, all blown out in the endless dust storms
Into the West and the rolling hills, to dive, dive, dive again and
Into the big blue we shall lose ourselves
