Children Of The Grounds Lyrics - Singles - Midlake

There were too many years 

Under spells awry 

As the fortune appears 

It begins to die 

So I've come here to wait 

For the end of it all 

'Till I'm gone from here 

I'm gone from here 

Children of the grounds 

Are making warring sounds 

For those outside 

With no care for time 

They're full of love for life 

Mother calling out 

To bring the end around 

We weren't quite done 

She blames it on the sun 

We're raised in a town 

Where they jump on your back and sing 

Leave an imprint on your shoulder blades 

Wanna walk away 

We're not all the same in this town 

We're raised in a town 

Where they jump on your back like children 

And they need you now and they will leave you now 

And we're all undone in this town 

And we're all undone in this town 

There were too many years 

Under spells awry 

As the fortune appears 

It begins to die 

So I've come here to wait 

For the end of it all 

'Till I'm gone from here 

I'm gone from here 

I'm gone 

I'm gone
