Shearwater - Run The Banner Down lyrics
[Shearwater - Run The Banner Down lyrics]
Run the banner down
And hide in the broken palms
'Til out of the blackness comes
A point of starry light
And a mountain moves and the pressure drops
Snow on your open palms
Under a northern star
Leave the tape unwound
And the film unthreaded
In a summer rain where your image is frozen
And thrown into the lake
Where the words rebound
With the way you laid out
Your hands on my shoulders:
Open your mouth close your eyes
Open your mouth
And hide in the broken palms
'Til out of the blackness comes
A point of starry light
And a mountain moves and the pressure drops
Snow on your open palms
Under a northern star
Leave the tape unwound
And the film unthreaded
In a summer rain where your image is frozen
And thrown into the lake
Where the words rebound
With the way you laid out
Your hands on my shoulders:
Open your mouth close your eyes
Open your mouth
