Here You Are, There You Go - Andrew Morris

Underneath the shadow of a golden sparrow

We lay awake to ward off sleep

Kissing all our eyes was a newborn bride

She whistled as she wept

Here you are

Shining like a star

But shaking like a leaf on a tree

There you go

Drifting through the snow

Trying to find out exactly who you are

Blankets under stars and a sign to call up arms

Was the matter of urgency

We ran into the river in an early morning shiver

To write our names in history

Dressing all our scars under the union bars

To live a life of luxury

Reading all our news in the tabloid blues

Discovering our deep and dirty past
