East of Us - Eddi Reader

Ha-ha, ah-ee-ah

She’s an iceberg

White and glistening

Open fire

See her melting

There’s a tornado turning

In the palms of our careless hands

Whistling and buring

Tearing down our lifeline

He’s on a river

Fast white water

He just can’t hold her

She just can’t hold him

Why d’you do that

Tear our house down

With your nights of swimming

And diving and drowning

Ah diving and drowning

Just a tornado turning

In the palm of our careless hand

Whistling and burning

Tearing down our lifeline

So be brave now

Look I’ve seen it

God it’s beautiful

Never fear it

Ah, we’re at the edge now

Crouched and praying

It feels like suicide

It feels like flying

Oh like Icarus

He kissed the sunshine

Jump we’re falling

But stay we’re drowning

So run and fly…

Run and fly

Ooh-aah

Oh-oo
