White Horses

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Joel Amey] Music and love have magnetic properties Wrote a scholar from the island that they kept from me And I don't need to solve my unknown identity Just need an answer to the question in the taxi My sister paints apathy like blasphemy But I never thought names deserve such energy It's my choice to choose who I embrace as family And my choice to choose, yeah, my choice to choose, yeah [Pre-Chorus: Ellie Rowsell] Know who I am, that's important to me Do what I can to see the wood from the trees Know who I am, that's important to me Let the branches wrap their arms around me [Chorus: Joel Amey] I could just wander always, like a leaf on the southeast breeze I do not need no rooting, I carry home with me To be a nomad floating on the waves of the Channel Sea I can see England waving, white horses carry me [Instrumental] [Verse 2: Joel Amey] Music and love have magnetic properties Wrote a scholar from the island that they kept from me And I don't need to solve my unknown identity Just need an answer to the question in the taxi My sister paints apathy like blasphemy I've seen God's green earth with the people closest to me It's my choice to choose who I embrace as family I choose you, yeah, I choose you, yeah [Pre-Chorus: Ellie Rowsell] Know who I am, that's important to me Do what I can to see the wood from the trees Know who I am, that's important to me Let the branches wrap their arms around me [Chorus: Joel Amey] I could just wander always, like a leaf on the southeast breeze I do not need no rooting, I carry home with me To be a nomad floating on the waves of the Channel Sea I can see England waving, white horses carry me [Pre-Chorus: Ellie Rowsell, Joel Amey, & Both] Know who I am, that's important to me Do what I can to see the wood from the trees Know who I am, that's important to me Let the branches wrap their arms (Let the branches wrap their arms) Let the branches wrap their arms around me [Chorus: Both & Ellie Rowsell] I could just wander always, like a leaf on the southeast breeze (On the southeast breeze) I do not need no rooting, I carry home with me To be a nomad floating on the waves of the Channel Sea (Of the Channel Sea) I can see England waving, white horses carry me
