lyrics

Step out of the doorway
Another town, another face among the crowd
These hills are not mine
And my feet fall heavy on the ground

But who knows which way you'd go
If the night was at your back
Over water, through thin air
Head down until the morning comes

But the roots in the wires will grow
Like babies who are far from home
Carried on the breeze
Over the highest fence
By love without consequence
Lifted in each other's arms
All young mothers know
That time has no place to go
It's drifting on our dreams
Bring back the olive trees
The western seas of old

But the roots in the wires will bloom
When autumn calls

Rain-stained inkwells spreading fear
Of all they do not know
One boy drowned on TV, a thousand miles away
But who knows which way you'd go
If the night was at your back
Over water, through thin air
Head down until the morning comes

But the roots in the wires will grow
Like babies who are far from home
Carried on the breeze
Over the highest fence
By love without consequence
Lifted in each other's arms
All young mothers know
That time has no place to go
It's drifting on our dreams
Bring back the olive trees
The western seas of old

But the roots in the wires will bloom
When autumn calls
