"La Dame Et La Licorne" lyrics

Shearwater Lyrics

"La Dame Et La Licorne"

Something is breathing in the air
Something is moving, in the water
And the winds in you are blowing

Bring back my boy
I loved him
I loved him

Gentle flakes of snow
On the roads and the fences
My head is aflame
My body's distant
I am fading out
I can tell it all the time
I'll go down in a flame
And wheel in the air like a swallow
Diving

Oh, you border guards
So young and handsome in the light
Won't you let me go through
One more time?
One more time?

Hold my arm
Will you hold my arm harder?
There are islands in the sun
There are diamonds in the water
