South lyrics

Let's fly south, dear, for the winter Life will be warmer there Here you can't speak above a whisper But we must not despair Things are complicated, I know But let's just lift our heads and go Leave behind this worn out wind For breezier, balmy air I won't wait till all my days are gone Cause I've known what I wanted all along Birds will fly and we'll just follow them Leave behind this broken world of men You say we don't have wings, well you're wrong For I have seen your feathered arms No, you can't fool me though you're tricky Don't think that I won't believe that we can kiss the tops of the trees They're getting taller every day, stretching to the sky Now the floods are coming in And the water's getting higher and higher Higher and higher Open the skylight cause it's time And though we've never touched, your hand tickles mine And I'm so tired of trying In these last moments where minutes exist We're running out of time From now on we'll no longer reminisce We'll just live and die To the mountains! To the high ground! We were chosen to survive!
