lyrics
She stands on the clifftop
Small against the waves and the wind, back straight, legs braced
At the point where land meets sea meets sky,
Where ragged rocks
Endure the beating of the sea
Endure the crashing of the waves
She gasps as she stumbles back towards her old car
her shelter from the wind
Her ears ring loud in the quiet of the stillness
She finds herself in
The earth must surely break in two
No living thing could make it through
Blow, wind, blow
Blow, wind, blow
And the she sees rising high above the waves, a shape in grey and white
It move with casual, breathtaking grace, this dancing bird in flight
Being of feather and hollow bone
Who dares to call the sea your home
Fly,
Fly...
Is it bird, is it wind, or the spirit of a sailor long ago lost at sea?
He will dance with the wind, who is partner not tormentor
Just how it’s meant to be
He flies for flying sake
A flight that he alone can take
Fly,
Fly...
