The Starlings: Music & Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I told Rosie, can’t you see
We cannot afford this happiness forever
You take the fire, I’ll take the sea
And love will take us back to where we used to be

This was on the morning he took her by the hand and said
We’ll be like birds, give ourselves to wind

Love is only half the way
Other half is mystery by firelight
Love is only half the way
Other half is mystery go flying by

William he has gone further still
With the graves that he gave to the other men
Well-deep in his heart of stone and will
Lives a little piece of what the world has made of him

Midnight has come and gone, he vows with pen and paper moons
He is facing east, the sun has come too soon

Love is only half the way
Other half is mystery by firelight
Love is only half the way
Other half is mystery go flying by
