Climb ye higher and higher and higher

Till you're far away and breathing cleaner air

Oh my brother, my brother, my brother

Who have you become in the wake of all that's happened here?

They're burning down the orchard to the soil

To the soil, to the grave

Spreading out the ashes of a love

That only gave and gave

Climb ye higher, and higher, and higher

There's no room for all the hearts who will not stay

Oh my brother, my brother, my brother

The horses are running, the horses are running away

Our hands are pulling everything apart

Fall apart, falling back

Tell yourself there's no more need to lie

We don't have time for that

It's okay, it's okay

My love will fall with grace

Climb ye higher, and higher, and higher

Leave our footprints to be lost along the ground

Oh my brother, my brother, my brother

There is nothing left to bring me back down

Spreading out our ashes in the Sun

In the Sun, in the Sun

Spreading out our ashes in the Sun

In the Sun, in the Sun
