Florence Songtext
von Adam Barnes

We′re buried beneath with mountains to climb
We're drowning away with water and wine
Were you watching the wolves, our very first kiss?
Wipe the tears from your face
The taste from your lips
We′ll sit in communion, our hands in our laps
Writing prayers for a God who will never pray back
We want lust if forever, make best with your time
We're the last of our fathers, the first of our kind

So no one believes me, it wasn't so easy to say
I offered the world to a heartbroken girl
And she left me and stole it away
This may sound as ruthless, so honest and useless
But no one believes what I say


Oh, I′ll follow the birds
′Cause they're always there to chase
I′ll sit here remembering what I have got left
The scars, the words that escape from my chest
Let the birds fly winter for heat in the south
I won't die by the summer
I will die by myself

In the freshest of airs, the calmest of storms
With the blue lights approaching, I′ll lay in your arms
And I will die like religion
I'm weak with my facts
But the people will wait, oh the birds will come back

So father, believe me, it wasn′t so easy to say
I offered the world to a heartbroken girl
And she left me and stole it away
It may sound as ruthless, so honest and useless
But no one believes what I say

Oh, I'll follow the birds
'Cause they′re always there to chase
