A Way to Get By

A Way to Get By - Raised By Swans

All those villages drowning

Linking arms

Flood waters rise

Show me a way to get by

Show me a way to get by

I need a way to get by

Time is hung in a darkroom

Aching smile

High on wire

Show me a real good bye

Show me a real good bye

I do a real good bye

One that won't change its mind

Swinging for the fences

For separate sky

I once found love

Lost it all because

Landslide swallowed both of us

As starving love does

After all that we've been through

To think I thought

I knew

We reach out into night

Hope our aim is true

Guardian of the silver mine

Promised you I'd throw you a line

Show me you've stayed alive

Show me you're still alive

Show me you're still alive

Love got to you in time

Glacier advances

Battery dies

We're collapsing worlds

We're shells protecting pearls

Caught between what could have been

All that you were

After all that we've been through

I know that we

Can do this

We reach out into night

And hope our aim is true
