Shearwater - An Insular Life Lyrics

Send back the uniforms
Send back the generous reich
Send us back to our lives
On the waving blue wild

And remove every mark
Down to the waterline
And with your arms at your sides
Turn homeward

Over seas, over roads
Over burning atolls
Hurl your empire's crown
Back in the heart

Of the waves
Relay, relay the unquenchable song through the wire
Where your horses alight
On the shores of our lives
The world blooms for the last time
