whatever you think you know
whatever they say about me
you know that those words will stay between us
i’m there in the trackless snow
a voice in the poplar trees
i’ll take you to where no one goes but no one ever leaves
so don’t be afraid if nobody loves you
don’t be afraid if nobody sees
however the words come out
however they twist the meaning
we’ll always have the breeze block steps to the downland
so don’t be afraid if nobody loves you
don’t be afraid if nobody sees
i’m there on the open road
a name carved there on a tree
a flame in the lightless forest under the leaves
don’t be afraid if nobody loves you
don’t be afraid if nobody sees
don’t be afraid if nobody loves you
don’t be afraid cos no one loves me
i’m there on the open road
a name carved there on a tree
i’m a flame in the lightless forest under the leaves
and i’m there in the trackless snow
a voice in the poplar trees
i’m a flame in the lightless forest under the leaves
