Seachange

News from nowhere

Seachange
Tradition and roots weigh in heavy when the future is unsure
Unrest in the neighbourhood not seen since years before
The breaking of the news is pouring fuel onto the fire
I start speaking words that I know inside don't seem right
I met him where the road breaks up to the track into the woods
He hadn't had a talk for a while he wanted to feel understood

What he had to say sent shivers
Shivers down my spine

Dont go until the ground frosts cleared
The rivers higher than people have seen for years
Dry bark by the fireside
Avoid the eyes of strangers outside

Left him in the eye of the storm
He said he needed no-one else at all
He follows the law of the land
Its all there to remind me

Spent years on long term sick in a terraced house in town
Something inside of him broke and he made the move out
Took up a secluded barn with a 10 year stock of supplies
He says when the church bells ring thats when he'll know they're near

The way he looked at me sent shivers
Shivers to the bones

Keep inside until the first green shows
He says the trees tell him all he needs to know
Cut off from the rest of the world
Nervous speech in riddles and codes

Left him in the eye of the storm
He said he needed no-one else at all
He follows the law of the land
Its all there to remind me

Well did you notice him the other day
There was a tone in his voice which worried me
We think he may be alone from us now
He may be further in
Be smart, be still
Take the action now
You're yelling about a time thats gone
Cause and effect
Take a step back step back step back

Dont go until the ground frosts cleared
The rivers higher than people have seen for years
Dry bark by the fireside
Avoid the eyes of strangers outside

Left him in the eye of the storm
He said he needed no-one else at all
He follows the law of the land
Its all there to remind me

Well thank you
Somehow you helped me through
The centres founder speaks
Says all these people are freaks
And I sympathise but thats as far as it goes
He says all he needs is a loving wife
Forgotten about the hours they spent
Under the water tower
Its not like that anymore...
