By River and Slate…(RasMix)
[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Soaring above, I watch I read the bend in the grass I hear every rushing heartbeat Tremble beneath the path You try to hide in the reeds I still see you plain Your breath makes the dust move Your fear leaves a stain [Pre-Chorus] You zigzag your path I track you line by line Your every trick I know I’ve known it all this time [Chorus] Now you stop Now you stop I drop like stone I silently hover I take you home You make a break for safety Too late, too late You are mine By river and slate [Verse 2] You cut through the briars You freeze by the wall But I know the shape of your slipping I know it all The small dark turn of your shoulder The dart in your stare You think you’re gone in a heartbeat But I’m already there [Pre-Chorus] You zigzag your path I track you line by line Your every trick I know I’ve known it all this time [Chorus] Now you stop Now you stop I drop like stone I silently hover I take you home You make a break for safety Too late, too late You are mine By river and slate [Bridge] I was made for the circling For the long high view For the hush before the strike For the sky split clean in two No boast, no mercy Just the work I was given One shadow on the water And one more breath beneath [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] Now you stop Now you stop I drop like stone I silently hover I take you home You make a break for safety Too late, too late You are mine By river and slate Now you stop Now you stop I’m already home “I…………am……….eagle………….you are prey!” [Outro] [Instrumental]
