Bringing me back to earth
Eternally and ever Ermine Street
Chalk hills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed)
And then stranger still, there's no balloon
I'm soaring over hushed crowds
Oddly complete
Bringing me back to earth
I'm soaring over hushed crowds
Even eyes never mean that you're sure to see
Icarus regrets and retires puzzled
Chalk hills and children
Even I never spied that the scenes were posed
I'm floating over strange land
I'm propelled up here by long dead dreams
I'm skating over thin ice
Anchor my feet
Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed
Chalk hills and children
Eternally and ever Ermine Street.
Rolling up on three empty tyres, 'til the
Still I'm getting higher
Anchor my feet
Anchor my feet
Anchor my feet
Chalk hills and children
I'm skating over thin ice
Chalk hills and children
Chalk hills and children
Still I'm getting higher
Even I never knew this is what I'd be
Wafted up by fame's fickle fire 'til the
Lifted up on lucks' circus wire 'til the
But I'm getting higher
Chalk hills and children
While some none such net holds me aloft
The reluctant cannonball it seems
But I'm getting higher
Eternally and ever Ermine Street
Chalk hills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed)
Upon blunted blades of metal soft
Bringing me back to earth
