White chalk hills are all I've known
White chalk hills will rot my bones
White chalk sticking to my shoes
White chalk playing as a child with you
Oooh ooh ooooh
Oooh ooh ooooh
White chalk stands against time
White chalk cutting down the sea at night
I walk the valleys by the surf
On a path cut fifteen hundred years ago
And I know these chalk hills will rot my
Bones
Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea
Where I walked our unborn child in me
White chalk, poor scattered land
Scratch my palms
There's blood on my hands
White chalk hills will rot my bones
White chalk sticking to my shoes
White chalk playing as a child with you
Oooh ooh ooooh
Oooh ooh ooooh
White chalk stands against time
White chalk cutting down the sea at night
I walk the valleys by the surf
On a path cut fifteen hundred years ago
And I know these chalk hills will rot my
Bones
Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea
Where I walked our unborn child in me
White chalk, poor scattered land
Scratch my palms
There's blood on my hands
