This song has been months coming. Im more proud of these lyrics than pretty much anything since Some Stories. This is The Wild Places, inspired by the book of the same title by Robert MacFarlane... 1. I love you all my oldest friends and the newest of my fellow captives. The tumbling of numbers threw us all together here like cluster bombs or shrapnel or the memory of confetti falling. Id never make a great recluse because of you and the shadows in the cave that play. Chorus: Before I die I want to go to wild places- properly wild , free of the tracks and human traces and dark designs to make me think these sacred places could ever be mine. Space is time so teach me to be still. 2. Haunted by the living in the shape of these grey city boots, the deer tracks lead to water and the mountain is my god. I see its still reflection in colours drawn by higher forces; wings in flight I cannot name and the fragments of a prayer too great to say. Chorus ... 3. The marble patterns always shifting, living lava cooled by millennia; away the sea retreated to unmask the forest floor. I thank it now as carbon, just a visitor from a distant system while back at my hotel a bible lies unopened in a draw. Chorus...
