Chalk Giants
I’ll take the only road, the only road I know,
I’ll send you a letter from wherever I will go.
By the summer equinox strawberry moon
I’ll ride the Severn Bore, hum your favourite tune.
And I’ll walk on giants carved in chalk into the hills
and wait for winter’s passing ‘til I see the daffodils.
I’ll occupy Martello towers and watch the seagulls dive,
and midnight phosphorescence will make me feel alive.
I’ll take the only road I know,
I’ll take the only road, I’ll take the only road,
I’ll take the only road I know.
I see you in my shadow, I see you in the clouds,
I see you like a miracle in a holy fucking shroud.
I look the other way (I look and look in vain),
I see you in a storm of driving horizontal rain.
And I’ll walk on giants carved in chalk into the hills
and wait for winter’s passing ‘til I see the daffodils.
I’ll occupy Martello towers and watch the seagulls dive,
and midnight phosphorescence will make me feel alive.
I’ll take the only road I know,
I’ll take the only road, I’ll take the only road,
I’ll take the only road I know.
I’ll take the only road, I’ll take the only road,
I’ll take the only road I know.
