The Kite

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The kite that I flew by the ocean Bitter wind propels it I tie the string to a tree branch It don't need me to hold it [Refrain] To fly To fly [Verse 2] The night, a creator of crisis Someone came and turned off The light that'd shine on our vices Now it's all too easy [Refrain] To hide To hide [Verse 3] Oh, but every blonde that I see on the trail Is a version of her with a ponytail Calling like a siren on the shore [Verse 4] When I stop moving forward and turn to the sea I can picture my family searching for me Bitter, raging wind [Bridge] But the kite holds on But the kitе holds on But the kite holds on But the kitе holds on But the kite holds on [Verse 5] And the water brings a current from a source we cannot see (But the kite holds on) And it summons waves of pushing, patterned air (But the kite holds on) I don't want to see their faces when they find that swaying tree (But the kite holds on) With nothing but a kite string waiting there [Outro] And the kite holds on to cable by a hair And the kite holds on to cable by a hair And the kite holds on to cable by a hair And the kite holds on to cable by a hair And the kite holds on to cable by a hair And the kite holds on to cable by a hair And the kite holds on to cable by a hair And the kite holds on to cable by a hair
