It Covers The Hillsides Lyrics - The Trials Of Van Occupanther - Midlake

[Chorus:] 

It covers the roadways 

It covers the hillsides 

It covers the houses 

It covers the frozen pines 

We had the snowfall 

To run all the rations dry 

When we got hungry 

We'd taken what wasn't ours 

Now we will set out 

The seats are cold on this boat 

As we head towards the ocean, towards the ocean 

Making our way out 

Trying to survive 

As we head our towards the ocean 

I'm not sure where this river goes 

But we have no choice but to follow 

There is smoke in the sky over those trees 

Let us hope they are kind to you and me 

Let us hope, let us hope they have enough 

Winter comes it sure is rough 

Maybe they'll welcome us 

We won't ask much 

But their rations were low 

And they couldn't help us 

So off we go 

[Chorus] 

Now we will set out 

The seats are cold on this boat 

As we head towards the ocean 

Making our way out 

Trying to survive 

As we head our towards the ocean 

Towards the ocean, towards the ocean 

Towards the ocean, towards the ocean
