Album: The City That Sleeps (2008)

Feather White

Feather white in morning light you
Cut a shape into the ice you
Walked out so far I could not reach you
I remember loosing sight of you

You, will all be sleeping with the fishes soon
You, will all be sleeping with the fishes soon

We got on well, did not argue
No alarm bells, no escape chute
But that morning you walked out so far
Through the ice fell into freezing water

You, will all be sleeping with the fishes soon
You, will all be sleeping with the fishes soon

[Policeman 1:] 'We've got a young woman trapped under the ice in the lake, looks like she's been down there a couple of days.'
[Policeman 2:] 'Should I bring the axe?'
[Policeman 1:] 'That's a negative, but bring a palette and easel, in twenty-five years I've never seen anything so beautiful.'

Days are long now, I hear you call me
Your fading heartbeats
Feather white in, you walked out so far
Through the ice fell, into freezing water

You, will all be sleeping with the fishes soon
You, will all be sleeping with the fishes soon
