Wolf People - Silbury Sands Lyrics

Silbury Sands

Silbury Sands, like time in our hands
Makes liars of ordinary men

You’ll never drag the lifeboat up the mountainside
Oh brother remove my fear
Not with 20 horses and 100 men
So I sit and pray they’ll reach the bay

Arriving at a dam made by the fallen trees;
Floodwater from the moors.
100 lives were swept out to the sea
The river runs its course
Sacking the valley heading north over…

Silbury Sands, like time in our hands
Makes liars of ordinary men

Doctors raise their glasses to a sulphur sky together
But there will be no….
Mercy for the man who put his arms around the weather
Yet who can say,
Who bears the weight?
