High on the Chalk
Sean O’Hagan
High on the chalk through the beet, maize and corn
Bonnets and hi hats and ribbons are worn
As they walk a stones throw from a sandy shore
So the ocean darkens and they walk some more
High on the chalk through the beet, maize and corn
Sweet car to rain road, an uncommon time
Sleep talk through answers in gentle resign
Safe behind the hour though the minutes fall
Blanking out the retail ’til the boarding call
Sweet car to rain road, an uncommon time
