There are pools across the tidal plain<br>
When my plane finally goes down<br>
that look like white sheets draped across<br>
I hope it falls into the sea<br>
the vacuum beyond our conversation<br>
and then the freezing clean water it will<br>
the thread of our lives unraveling
wash away whatever's left of me


Always turning away<br>
These sweet breezes blowing here<br>
away<br>
Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood, USA<br>
away
could dissolve the tissue paper around my heart<br>
spring the trap door and watch it fall away


The tide makes all our decisions for us<br>
And your love is all I have to take with me<br>
It breathes just like a pearl accordion<br>
and your love is all I'll have to take with me
The water softly inches for your eyes<br>
Kisses the soft skin under your disguise


Always turning away<br>
When my plane finally goes down<br>
away<br>
I hope it falls into the sea<br>
away<br>
and then the cold and the hard love of the tides<br>
Always facing away<br>
finally make sense to me
away<br>
away


Under the sun we flood across the shallows<br>
And your love is all I'll have to take with me<br>
and lay on our backs, gleaming like liquid pearls<br>
and your love is all I'll have to take with me<br>
The wind and the light give us up a show of hands<br>
and your love and your love
Gives us to any justice that'll have us
 
Always turning away<br>
away<br>
away<br>
Always facing away<br>
away<br>
away

Lyrics

When my plane finally goes down
I hope it falls into the sea
and then the freezing clean water it will
wash away whatever's left of me

These sweet breezes blowing here
Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood, USA
could dissolve the tissue paper around my heart
spring the trap door and watch it fall away

And your love is all I have to take with me
and your love is all I'll have to take with me

When my plane finally goes down
I hope it falls into the sea
and then the cold and the hard love of the tides
finally make sense to me

And your love is all I'll have to take with me
and your love is all I'll have to take with me
and your love and your love
