White chalk hills are all I've known
|
White chalk hills will rot my bones
|
White chalk sticking to my shoes
|
White chalk playing as a child with you
|
|
White chalk sat against time
|
White chalk cutting down the sea line
|
I know Mary's by the surf
|
On a path cut 1500 years ago
|
|
And I know these chalk hills will rot my bones
|
|
Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea
|
Where I walked
|
(Our unborn child in me)
|
White chalk
|
(Poor scattered land)
|
|
Scratch my palms
|
There's blood on my hands
|
