Lyrics

I was born in a summer storm Grass was cold but the sky was warm They lay me down in the mossy fields Where the crows kill with tender speed Sun burned off the lonely clouds And warmed my face, the roots in the ground They washed me off in a shallow stream Where sand dunes line the beach I grew up on that moody land I understood the tension all around Between me and you and dad How a sunburn goes cold and damp And how we hovered all in between Slight sliver where life can begin Between oxygen and temperature Or the force fields of boy and girl [Instrumental break] I was born in a summer storm Grass was cold but the sky was warm And so I hover now in between The slight sliver where life can breathe Submariners crashed my sleep I heard about it on the BBC I can hear as they tap on the steel Of a hull downed in the melting sea
