Forgotten Ground
Come onto me, it's easy for a long life
Don't be denied forever under the nightCome along
To be this free
Is what you want toBreaking the line forever under the sun
It will be done together for each to be one
Come alongTo be is easyTaking the starsAcross the road at the end of this placeIt's not far and anyone can go thereIt's waste ground
There's no name on this placeBut it always has and always will be thereThere's no fence, no walls, no fools
Just the summer sun
And what you choose
But was it only yesterdayTomorrow cameAnd handed you the toolsTo burn it downYour forgotten groundThe golden bough with a rope
Lies there for you to climb
Higher and higher
But by this rope you can hang
If you've forgotten why it was
You came thereAnd you burn it downYour forgotten groundWhen you are old and see this
Know this is cold
That when the sun rises
Tall shadows will holdThe ground you loved
To you is broken
Taken from youAnd I carve my nameAnd then you wrote yoursThe black smokeWill rise up to cover the starsNothing said to be forever
Except for the nightThat will come
When we burn you down
