The White Owl lyrics - David Gray

For to quench my thirst

Into the breakers till my lungs burst

For to still my mind

Down through the echoing blue

In a swallow dive

So damn alive

The tightrope the green lasso

And soft hands to bear me through

I'll be the white owl

Winds cover me

I'll be the white owl

Swooping low

I'll be the white owl

No knowing me

I'll be the white owl

Blood my road

Till the first is last

All the smoke of the future

Pouring out of the past

Every vestige gone

Nothing left but the altar

We found each new day upon

All else gone

The light bends the thought gets skewed

Each sky dancing heart stripped nude

Then I'll be the white owl

Winds cover me

I'll be the white owl

Swooping low

I'll be the white owl

No knowing me

I'll be the white owl

Blood my road

I'll be the white owl

Time cover me

I'll be the white owl

Swooping low

I'll be the white owl

No knowing me

I'll be the white owl

Blood my road
