missing islands - shearwater

Effortless gulls in the wake
silver and white on the bow
as the island is broken away
from the world

Bandages pulled from the eyes
the violent surging of life
in the bloodstream of heaven and earth
falls away

Stars on the boundary line
bloom and recede in the day
and the airfield is over the waves

"the golden archipelago", dos shearwater, continua a servir de banda sonora dos meus cinzentos dias. esta pequena mas maravilhosa peça musical lembra "it's getting late in the evening", uma das minhas músicas preferidas dos talk talk.
