about

Track 10. This is the second of two epics on the album, and is a song about endings.

lyrics

You and I have travelled here
from a green and pleasant land
across potholes and plotholes and fallow fields
With the future snapping at our heels
a brass band balance on the crest of a wave
polished gold flash serenade
but they're not playing our song
'cause they've never heard it sung.

the dragonflies grow old in the everday
tie a reef knot and venture out to sea
they sing a winding, willowing song
of the end of all roads - land's end

Venus and Mars have lost their minds
In the ragged night and time's all-weaving wave
stole away our hopeless dream
as we pawned our fates to the stars above
a steam powered donkey crashes into the sea
the gears within howl and spin
daring to unknow you or me
Another adventure begins.

the dragonflies grow old in the everday
tie a reef knot and venture out to sea
they sing a winding, willowing song
of the end of all roads - land's end
