lyrics
The afternoon comes sliding sweet
beneath the kitchen window in the heat
In my glass the ice retreats
From the sky the rising rumblin’ of a
helicopter freezes me
Just on the other side of here
frantic you are fumbling ‘round in fear.
Sweat obscures your eyes like tears
Edging round the fields to find a way to disappear
And I hear the helicopter drowning your life out with every beat of its terrible wings
I feel the helicopter drowning my heart oh with everything that its being there means
I lace my hair behind my ear
You claw the branches and the air
I spare my heart for you out there
because I know we’re both relying on
somebody else’s care
I don’t even know your name
and I won’t pretend that we are just the same
but if I came upon your hiding place
I wouldn’t give you away
I hear the helicopter hounding you just to get out
get away
You’ve built your life on that refrain oh and
I feel the helicopter sounding your heart
what a thundering thing in such a fragile machine
beneath the kitchen window in the heat
In my glass the ice retreats
From the sky the rising rumblin’ of a
helicopter freezes me
Just on the other side of here
frantic you are fumbling ‘round in fear.
Sweat obscures your eyes like tears
Edging round the fields to find a way to disappear
And I hear the helicopter drowning your life out with every beat of its terrible wings
I feel the helicopter drowning my heart oh with everything that its being there means
I lace my hair behind my ear
You claw the branches and the air
I spare my heart for you out there
because I know we’re both relying on
somebody else’s care
I don’t even know your name
and I won’t pretend that we are just the same
but if I came upon your hiding place
I wouldn’t give you away
I hear the helicopter hounding you just to get out
get away
You’ve built your life on that refrain oh and
I feel the helicopter sounding your heart
what a thundering thing in such a fragile machine

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
