Her eyes are full of storm
It’s a constant distraction she’s working on
She’s a flower in need of rain
Shame though the water will choke her
She’s a flower of rain, that’s all
His eyes are wide in fear
His room’s alive with angels that wrestle with what brought him here
He’s a river with nowhere to flow alone
Soon the current will take him
Soon the water will rise
And soon it carries them home
Always circles around itself
Blooming, returning, to itself
Back and forth it never ends
When anything is everything again
We’re carried home
We’re carried to the sea
We’re carried home
Do I need a reason to crash into the sea
Do I really need to let the tide carry me into the sun
Down into space is a beautiful dream
Weightless set apart drifting past gravity
And the soon the water will rise
We’re carried home
And soon it carries them home
Refrain~
We’re carried to the sea
We’re carried home in stormy eyes with strangers at our sides by the tide

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.
