Children of the Ground (Live at the Roundhouse) Lyrics by Midlake

Live at the Roundhouse

2023

[Verse 1]
There were too many years under spells awry
As the fortune appears, it begins to die
So I've come here to wait for the end of it all
Till I'm gone from here
I'm gone from here
[Verse 2]
Children of the grounds are making warring sounds
For those outside with no care for time
They're full of love for life
[Pre-Chorus]
Mother calling out
To bring the end around
We weren't quite done
She blames it on the sun
[Chorus]
We're raised in a town where they jump on your back and sing
Leave an imprint on your shoulder blade
Wanna walk away
We're not all the same in this town
We're raised in a town where they jump on your back like children
And they need you now, they need you now
And we're all undone in this town
And we're all undone in this town
[Verse 1]
There were too many years under spells awry
As the fortune appears, it begins to die
So I've come here to wait for the end of it all
Till I'm gone from here
I'm gone from here
[Outro]
Gone
We're gone
