lyrics

That was the kittiwake cry
Like I’ve never heard it before
Like I’ve only heard it in writing

It cares not a splash in the lake
For all of our shadow and doubt
For all of our uproar and slighting
Says I must be good
I must be brave

That was a drop in the wind
That was me dropped like a stone
Dropped like a fulmar in fluster
I must be good
I must be brave

We have been walking and squawking for hours
We’ve cut down the trees and we’ve trampled the flowers
We’ve dug up the old king and scattered his bones
We’ve woken his ghost in our turning of stones

Follow me follow me home
We can be back before dark
Follow me follow me home

I must be good
I must be great

Black and white or not at all
Better far to take a fall
Feathers ruffled but alive
Better far to take a dive

We have been walking and squawking for miles
We’ve tilled the dry earth and we’ve kicked down the stiles
Among all the old kings, asleep in their graves
When we could be wintering over the waves
