lyrics

There on the moor
His cape lay still
Sun-bleached, worn
Material

I can remember when
A thousand miles
Was just beyond the garden wall
We could escape there then
To become whoever we wanted to be

We were kites
Rising high
Pulling twine
Till you were blown away

‘Cause I remember when
A thousand eons
Lay across the fence, waiting to be explored
With capes around our necks
We ruled an empire
And as we ran, yours fell to the ground

These changes are forever
Times move on, we fade away
And like cotton slowly fraying
The circle never sways

I fly your kite
Rising high
Pulling twine
Till I am blown away

They are kites
Rising high
Pulling twine
Through the people who remain
