The Unthanks Mount the Air song lyrics

ill mount the air on swallows wings

to find my dearest dear

and if I lose my labor

and cannot find him there

i quickly will become fish to swim the roaring seas

i love my lord

because i know my love

for he loves me

Ill mount the air on swallows wing

to find my dearest dear

and i lose my labor and cannot find him there

i quickly will become fish to swim the roaring seas

I love my lord

because I know my love for him

he loves me.

I'd comb the air and ocean deep

to find my dearest dear

in all my days and empty nights

i cannot find him there

I swiftly will become a deer

and scan the heavened moors

ill find my love before the winter falls on these shores

Ill cast all fear unto the wind

and undo my soul

and if in danger he tumbles from my hold

ill rip the earth on which he lands

and rest his head to sleep

i love my lord

because i know my love for he

is meeeeee
