Along The Boundry

High up on the hill watching the sea
Splinters in my hand from climbing the tree
To the place that you said was so easy to get to
But you were much older, you never thought I could get

Such a long way up, but I look straight ahead
Silver blue the sea like sheets on a bed
At the edge of the world a ferry boat crawls away like a snail
Leaving it all to me

I feel the branches move around me
I see the thistles along the boundary
Up along the boundary

I move patches of wind round the bay of glass
I move shadows of clouds ovеr the grass
I'm at the controls, therе isn't a shelf or a rock on the beach
That I couldn't reach

And I feel the branches move around me
I see the thistles along the boundary
Up along the boundary

The sun pulls the hills the way the tide pulls on the sea
Waves and waves of grass are breaking, rolling over to me
And the sky's like a wheel
Like a wheel

I feel the branches move around me
I see the thistles along the boundary
Up along the boundary
