Bernard Butler and Jessie Buckley - Footnotes on the Map

She's staring out to sea
Silence itself
Echoes out of the coast
Oh, you sound old

Hear his secret
Nothing's lost, just found
Tide is broken now
When the whisper dissolves

Like a kind of a bird
Never gets any rest
Spends it's whole life on it's wings
Beats the wind instead

And the wind said, "Fly"
And the sea said, "Live"
And the sun says it can, it can
It will, it will fly away

But the rain
We must listen to that
The rain owns all of these songs
That our hearts have mapped

And your tongue is a river (your tongue is a river)
Heading out to the shore (heading out to the shore)
Interrupted by your heartbeat (by your heartbeat)
Boulder in the flow (a boulder in the flow)

There's no fear without courage (fear without courage)
Sense of what's left behind or to come (what's to come)
Just to drift in a moment (just to drift in a moment)
Float in the storm (float in the storm)

And the wind said, "Fly" (wind says, "Fly")
And the sea said, "Live" (the sea said, "Live")
And the sun says it can, it can
It will, it will fly away

But the rain (oh, but the rain)
We must listen to that (we must listen to that)
The rain knows all of these songs
That our hearts have mapped (that our hearts have mapped)

And your tongue is a river (tongue is a river)
Heading out to the shore (heading out to the shore)
Interrupted by your heartbeat
Like a boulder in the flow (boulder in the flow)

And your tongue is a river
You must listen to that
Interrupted by a heartbeat
A footnote on the map
