St. Annes
Jealous of the Birds
[Refrain]
Can't you hear the cathedral bells?
Dark and deep as a wishing well
Forgotten hymn falls with the rain
And swirls in a whirlpool down the drain
[Verse 1]
Droplets spread like ink on my shirt
The one that once got covered in dirt
When we slipped down a mudslide in mid-July
I knew right then I never wanted to die
[Verse 2]
Remember the time we swam in the sea?
Bodies of salt, bodies of glee
Float on my back, looked at the sky
Impossible blue, why oh why
[Refrain]
Can't you hear the cathedral bells?
Dark and deep as a wishing well
Forgotten hymn falls with the rain
And swirls in a whirlpool down the drain
