Birds of the High Arctic David Gray

Baby say it isn't true
You were never there
It wasn't you
It's more than I can do
To try and keep it shiny new
The gap just opens up
Between the words we like to use
And the thing that's seen
Seen through your eyes now darling
In blue distances calling
Like the birds of the high arctic

And you don't have to make a move
No there ain't nothing left to prove
Except the plain unvarnished truth
It's a part of you you can't remove
Like a love that's been
And there ain't no answers darling
Just blue distances calling
Like the birds of the high arctic

They're calling
Like the birds of the high arctic
This darling
For the light in your eyes sparked it
Two sheets to the wind
