Birds of the High Arctic

Baby say it isn’t true

You were never there

It wasn’t you

It’s more than I can do

To try and keep it shiny new

The gap just opens up

Between the words we like to use

And the thing that’s seen

Seen through your eyes now darling

In blue distances calling

Like the birds of the high arctic

And you don’t have to make the move

No there ain’t nothing left to prove

Accept the plain unvarnished truth

It’s a part of you you can’t remove

Like a love that’s been

There ain’t no answers darling

Just blue distances calling

Like the birds of the high arctic

They’re calling

Like the birds of the high arctic

This darling

For the light in your eyes sparked it

Two sheets to the wind

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Like the birds of the high arctic

Like the birds of the high arctic

Like the birds of the high arctic

Like the birds of the high arctic

Baby say that it isn’t true

You were never there and it wasn’t you

Never there wasn’t you

Baby say that it isn’t true

You were never there

Never there wasn’t you

Like the birds of the high arctic

Like the birds of the high arctic

Like the birds of the high arctic
