Avalanche Lyrics by Cerys Matthews

Explorer

2011

[Verse 1]
He took a rock from the bottom of my ocean
Wrote his name, then threw that rock back to the waves
The tide comes in and the tide goes out again
[Verse 2]
I took the liberty of walking up his river
Up through the silt and fell asleep on your bed
The tide comes in and the tide goes out again
[Chorus]
When I open up my eyes, mid-tide is turning
East wind and fish at Carreg Ddu
My mind hell-bent on those who drowned there
I was glad to think somehow they set us free
[Verse 3]
So, take a walk from the first storm to the last storm
Laugh at the locksmiths and throw away the key
The tide comes in and the tide goes out again
[Verse 4]
Any mind, doesn't miss me, but I didn't miss a beat
So I walked through the storm and wandered along the beach
Till the sun comes up and the sun goes down again
[Chorus]
I open up my eyes and tide is turning
East wind and fish at Carreg Ddu
My mind hell-bend on those who drowned there
I was glad to think somehow truth sets us free
