lyrics

Running through the backyard of the house we used to live
I’ve got a mirror, a photo, and the face of a kid
Away
Grown away

It’s darker here now, I can’t curse sky or time
It’s the fragile difference that keeps me terrified
Awake
Wide awake

Find where the swallows go home, boys
Find where the swallows go home, boys
I’m drifting high
On the moon

At the bottom of the ocean there are no stars that shine
Reflected like diamonds in lost sailors’ eyes
Away
Bound away

This ain’t the rain pouring down or the frost-bitten vine
But rather hope for an ending that honest and kind
Away
Gone away

Find where the swallows go home, boys
Find where the swallows go home, boys
I’m drifting high
On the moon
