about

Offered as a prayer of sorts, so that we may all wake up suddenly and wonder how we could ever have lived this way.

lyrics

The falling of a leaf
The flapping of a single wing
The falling of a single, silent leaf

It happened just like that I still remember
All at once the whole world had been changed
By such a little thing, how could such a simple thing
Just standing in the middle of the motorway
Standing in the middle of the road

Helicopters hovered overhead
Their lights lit the cars backed up for miles
But nobody did move
No, no-one made a sound
Some left their cars on the motorway
We gathered in the middle of the motorway
Why anybody did it no one could say

What can make this whole world over?
What could cast or break such a spell?
Falling of a leaf, flapping of a single wing
Standing in the middle of the motorway

Oh my love I missed you
When you moved from rain in to the sun
Such a little thing, how could such a simple thing
Standing in the middle of the motorway
One cow standing in the middle of the road

The falling of a leaf
The flapping of a single wing
The falling of a single, silent leaf.

Falling of a leaf, flapping of a wing
Turning of a bird, falling of a limb
A sudden gust of wind on a mirror’d lake
A question never met, promise never kept
Spark upon a dried out field at the height of summer
A sudden screaming sound, slamming of the breaks
A tiny chink of glass in the otherwise empty house
What was I even doing before?

What can make this whole world over?
What could cast or break such a spell?
The falling of a leaf, flapping of a single wing
Standing in the middle of the motorway

Oh my love I missed you
When you moved from rain in to the sun
Such a little thing, how could such a simple thing
Standing in the middle of the motorway
One cow standing in the middle of the road
