lyrics

I was on a train, travelling from the town to the sea
When I saw the hair on the hill
And the curve of the land
Like a sleeping body
Like a body underwater
I was on a train, and all around me passengers
You know it’s never been far from the town to the sea
And the hair on the hill was waving
Like a body underwater
Calling me down to the cool of the deep
I never want to go back where I came from
And if you slept beside me
On the train from the town to the sea
Would you have seen it too
Or only grass against the winter sky?
Would it have been hurtful?
Would it have been hurtful?
I never want to leave you
Or see your love denied
But I knew that it was over
When the hair on the hill was waving
Like a body underwater
And I knew that I could never
Go back home again
Would it have been hurtful?
Would it have been hurtful?
It would have been hurtful
Would it have been hurtful?
Would it have been hurtful?
Would it have been hurtful?
