"Under The Escarpment" lyrics

The summer lays you high and dry
And they say the dark won't rise, will the caller by your side
It hurts so much to try to erase all the sage advice
Say you're just a local guy, how are you meant to ride?
And that's your crutch, you always said I should've known by now

But somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun
Somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun
And under the escarpment, I think I know what you meant
When you said that somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun

And on my chest, your fists were beating like a drum

A big idea, the easy life
Is it really what you need when you lay down at their feet to judge you?
The only love it means to an end is to weave that golden net
Throw your hat somewhere before you forget
I always thought I should've known by now

Somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun
Somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun
And under the escarpment, I think I know what you meant
When you said that somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun

And on my chest, your fists were beating like a drum, a drum
A drum, a drum

Somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun
Somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun
And under the escarpment, I think I know what you meant
When you said that somewhere coming from a long way down, I'd begun
