To Tundra Lyrics - Hello Sadness - Los Campesinos!

Meet me at 

St. Nicholas 

Among the oaks 

Behind the church 

That sway like pig-tailed girls 

As summer wind whistles 

Around your bare-skin knees 

And the forsythia leaves 

In the shade 

Lay with me 

Tickled by 

The feather reed 

That's where the trees grow old 

Under the ivy's hold 

As you in my two arms 

Equally safe from harm 

And in a hazy day dream 

Our bodies married the stream 

And we grow down into pebbles and silt 

The water ran from the fields 

Until the oceans we filled 

And found the sea-bed the comfiest quilt 

There was more life in the weeds than in the few hundred seats 

In rows from transept to chancel to nave 

And when their anger had paused, I turned and answered their calls 

With your just audience, I'm the applause 

We take on the burden of all these sad-eyed children 

With lilies bunched in our hands 

We fake our concern and speak softly as the children 

Tells wife to cancel her plans 

Take a body to water, take a body to tundra 

Just take me with you as well
