Black Flies Lyrics - Every Kingdom - Ben Howard

Black flies on the windowsill 

That we are 

That we are 

That we are to know 

Winter stole summer's thrill 

And the river's cracked and cold 

See the sky is no man's land 

A darkened plume to stay 

Hope here needs a humble hand 

Not a fox found in your place 

No man is an island, this i know 

But can't you see or...? 

Or maybe you were the ocean, when i was just a stone

Black flies on the windowsill 

That we are 

That we are 

That we are to hold 

Comfort came against my will 

And every story must grow old 

Still I'll be a traveller 

A gypsy's reins to face 

But the road is wearier 

With that fool found in your place 

No man is an island, this I know 

But can't you see or...? 

Or maybe you were the ocean, when i was just a stone 

No man is an island, this I know 

But can't you see or...? 

Or maybe you were the ocean, when i was just a stone 

So here we are

Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo 

And I don't wanna beg your pardon 

And I don't wanna ask you why 

But if I was to go my own way 

Would I have to pass you by? 

And I don't wanna beg your pardon 

And I don't wanna ask you why 

But if I was to go my own way 

Would I have to pass you by? 

And I don't wanna beg your pardon 

And I don't wanna ask you why 

But if I was to go my own way 

Would I have to pass you by? 

Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo
