Burial - Seinabo Sey

Flowers cross the sea

Memories aren’t what they used to be

Something in the breeze

High and low, always incomplete

Fire burns my back

They stare, I don’t know how to react

Try smiling for them to see

That I’m happy, you are free

I hear you speak to me, as you spoke to me

Saying come down let it be

Grains of sand we’ll never be

Strong enough to make me leave

I hear you speak to me as you spoke to me

Saying come down let it be

Grains of sand we’ll never be

Strong enough to make me leave

Stone rise, curtain falls

I am sure that you’ve seen it all

Christ, you’re in for harmony

Clouds they turn, hear you call for me

Fire burns my back

I’m ashamed I ever thought you were mine

Try smiling for them to see

That I’m happy you are free

I hear you speak to me, as you spoke to me

Saying come down let it be

Grains of sand we’ll never be

Strong enough to make me leave

I hear you speak to me as you spoke to me

Saying come down let it be

Grains of sand we’ll never be

Strong enough to make me leave

They speak of grace

They speak of a better place

They speak of kingdoms

Kingdoms and how they come

They speak of freedom

Freedom and marching drums

Freedom and marching drums

Freedom and marching drums

When I miss you

I hear you speak to me, as you spoke to me

Saying come down let it be

Grains of sand we’ll never be

Strong enough to make me leave

I hear you speak to me, as you spoke to me

Saying come down let it be

Grains of sand we’ll never be

Strong enough to make me leave

I hear you speak to me, as you spoke to me

Saying come down let it be

Grains of sand we’ll never be

Strong enough to make them leave

Strong enough to make them leave
