Oh we stood before the join in our timber floor
The one I had always meant to sand away
We held hands, glanced together took a breath
And stepped across the line together finally

Chorus:
We sold away and gave away and threw away
Until we were down to bare bones
And flew away light as the silvereyes
That twittered in the trees nobody owns
Come make an adventure with me
Don’t hold on to what you know is safe
A little unwinding of the heart strings
Is all it’s bound to take

We started in the muddy depths beneath the house
Took out the all the memories we thought would last
Dragged them out into the sunlight on the concrete drive
And sat them up for anyone who wandered past

Chorus

And so we came to the feasting and farewelling
As suddenly the slowest race was won
And we drifted round from door to door like lost balloons
And tore away the tethers one by one

Chorus
