WALKING INTO WHITE

Words and music by Sarah McQuaid

Recorded on Walking Into White (2015)

They hadn’t long to go 
That afternoon 
The light on the moor was gold 
The distant mountains shone 

They were chatting as they strolled 
In make-believe 
Of ships in days of old 
And pirate thieves 

The boy glanced back 
The way they’d come 
He said hello, that’s strange 
The hill we just walked down is gone 
The clouds have blotted out the sun 
And everything has changed 

The fog came down 
A white cloud on the ground 
She said we’ll be all right 
Just keep walking into white 

Across the moor they go 
Trying to feel their way 
Hold my hand, take it slow 
It’s going to be okay 

The fog came down 
A white cloud on the ground 
She said we’ll be all right 
Just keep walking into white
