grace petrie - earthwire lyrics

[verse 1]
the dying fires of august start to sober
the dizziness of summer starts to slow
shuffling towards us is october
time for me to pack my bags and go
to offer up this pockmarked heart for viewing
to pick it over ‘til i am bereft
and all of this i know is my undoing
one day i know there’ll be nothing left

we do our best
you and me
and i leave behind the nest we made so reticently
for all tomorrow brings
for all our magpie wings
being yours is the best i can be

[chorus]
and i’m bound for city and sea
and i’m bound for town
be my anchor be my rudder
darling earth me to the ground
and i’ll be home before the leaves fall down
and i’ll be home before the leaves fall down

[verse 2]
restless wandering used to be my longing
never still but always passing through
but nowhere in this world is my belonging
other than the place that i’ll find you
and even though i struggle for the meaning
of a world that i don’t understand
and even though some days i feel like screaming
i can bear it when i feel you take my hand
we do our best, you and me
and all the rest will sort itself eventually
for all the rising tides
for all my jagged sides
being yours is the best i can be

[chorus]
and i’m bound for city and sea
i am bound for town
be my anchor be my rudder
darling earth me to the ground
and i’ll be home before the leaves fall down
and i’ll be home before the leaves fall down

and i’m bound for city and sea
i am bound for town
be my anchor be my rudder
darling earth me to the ground
and i’ll be home before the leaves fall down
and i’ll be home before the leaves fall down
and i’ll be home before the leaves fall down
i’ll be home before the leaves fall
