about

Lyrics by Kath Powell

lyrics

I wonder if I stepped a little closer would I fall, would I fall
I wonder if my fortitude did falter like it would, would I fall

And if I shouted out to the man I know
Would he walk away or look to the sky where I am
Where I stand

I wonder if I stretched my arms our further would I fly, could I fly
I'll splay my fingers open like the feathers of the birds by my side

There's nothing sinister in asking all these questions
I'm sure it's okay

I am just humbled by the magnitude of the sky, I'd like to fly

I wonder if I can fly

I wonder if all these people gathering all around want to see
Or are they worried like their faces would suggest they are, in part

They do not know me so why do they worry for me now
When I'm on the ground

No body listens and no body reaches out for me

Maybe they do not see me

The Cooling Pearls UK

Awash with violin, acoustic guitar, baritone, haunting harmonies and drunken poetry, we sound like Marco van Basten at Euro ‘88 or sad, emotive, lo-fi, dirge-folk songs
