[Verse 1]
Maybe I was blind to your faults
Only now see the cracks that grow
I see the bones of boats and industry
Dancing out to sea, washed back at my feet
[Chorus]
The starlings will rescue me
Fly me over the motorway
By a red light snake to the port of Calais
I'll be waiting on the White Horse Hill
Where the chalk has faded but remains still
And the ship of a song seems to sail until it falls down
[Verse 2]
How do we bridge a great divide
Water the roses on each side
I hear the sound of shutters slamming down
Cold stone underfoot, it lasted while it could
[Chorus]
Thе starlings will rescue me
Fly mе over the motorway
By a red light snake to the port of Calais
I'll be waiting on the White Horse Hill
Where the chalk has faded but remains still
And the ship of a song seems to sail until it falls down
When did I lose a sense of where I'm from
When did I lose the feeling I belong
When did I lose a sense of where I'm from
